Pharrell Williams & Miley Cyrus 'Come Get It Bae'

Funk it up! Pharrell Williams acts as a photographer at a fashion shoot in the just-released music video for his new funky single, "Come Get It Bae," and like its predecessor mega-hit "Happy," it's chock-full of fun, funky moves. It also features a cameo from none other than twerking Miley Cyrus, who only takes a few seconds for the pop star to flash her famous asset, once she joins the booty-shaking fun while providing guest vocals on the song. This isn't the first time the duo have worked together, Williams also produced "4x4" and "#GETITRIGHT" for Cyrus' "Bangerz" album.
The overwhelmingly catchy "Come Get It Bae," is the third single from Williams' chart-topping album, "G I R L." It serves as an innuendo for sex through the metaphor of a motorcycle, a recurring theme throughout "G I R L." The "Bae" is short for "Before Anything Else," or alternatively another way to say babe or baby. This song finds Cyrus supplying some backing vocals to Williams' melange of sexual metaphors. He explained to The Sun: "I wanted her on that song as I love her tone. It just felt good and that's it and I wanted to make music with people who feel."
The Luis Cerveró-directed video's concept is a simple affair with jam-packed with youthful, lovely dancing ladies. The producer basically films a Dove advertisement and begin with a much more female-friendly message: "Beauty has no expiration date." From there, it goes on to show various models twerking and dancing some hand-clapping choreography suggestively to the super fun and joyous jam in a large dance studio filled with mirrors, as Williams films them on a Super 8 camera and opted for one of his omnipresent hats along with ripped jeans and a denim shirt over a white tee.
Cyrus crashes in on the fun mid-way through the crazy colorful video to sing her verses, with the kind of look we've come to expect from the singer by now. Wearing a goofy outfit - cutoff denim short jean shorts, a midriff-baring white crop top, a varsity jacket of sorts, and high-top sneakers, Shockingly, she doesn't twerk, leaving that task to one of the models instead, but she does stick out her extremely long tongue, mug for the camera, and bust a few some goofy moves with skateboard Williams. Pop a wheelie, and blast this to while away your Hump Day.

Miley Cyrus declaring her love for "Adore You"

Miley Cyrus gives fans an unexpected, an eyeful , and very naughty Christmas present with a raunchy music video for her newest single "Adore You." The controversial singer writhes around in her underwear while filming herself underneath her bed sheets in the video for the power pop ballad, which will serve as the third single from her latest gold-selling LP, "Bangerz," a thirteen-track set, the record opens with this tender love ballad "Adore You," which lyrically describes an affection towards a romantic partner, allowed Cyrus to showcase her vocal abilities and continue her winning streak.
In a victory for fine taste and good judgement, Cyrus has settled on Oren Yoel-produced unabashedly romantic slow jam "Adore You," and this pop and R&B ballad finds Cyrus declaring her love for her beau as Cyrus shows her careful balance of vulnerability and strength while crooning: "I could do this for eternity, you and me We're meant to be in holy matrimony / God knew exactly what he was doing / When he led me to you." This is one of the few "Bangerz" tracks on which Cyrus does not score a co-writing credit, so any thoughts that it was written about her ex fiancee Liam Hemsworth can be discounted.
Filmed with a night-vision camera, the clip leaked online Christmas Day, a day earlier to the singer's apparent chagrin, inspiring a saucy tweet from the pop star and it's filled with Cyrus, well, being Cyrus. In the provocative, nearly five-minute long clip, the former Disney Channel star is seen rolling around filming herself nearly naked on under a sheet on a bed, wriggling in a bra and panties and doing plenty of self-exploration and simulating masturbation in various states of ecstasy. Before the music video was done, Cyrus also steams things up and hopped in a bathtub in an all-black, crocheted outfit, writhing around in the water, sticking out her tongue and caressing her body.
The 21-year-old starlet has been teasing the video all week and she has caused controversy yet again for the scenes in the video featuring her masturbating. Despite her disappointment about leaked earlier, Cyrus seemed to manage to enjoy the rest of her Christmas with her family. Prior to her official "Adore You" music video release, the "Wrecking Ball" songstress spent some quality time with her family, posting a shot of herself with her loved ones on Christmas Day, play fighting near their Christmas tree.

Will.i.am & Miley Cyrus Keep are "Feelin' Myself"

What's a Miley Cyrus guest spot these days if it doesn't include the words "twerk" and "molly"? In the simple, sharp and spiffy new clip for will.i.am's "Feelin' Myself," the lead single appears on the new deluxe edition of the Black Eyed Peas mastermind's solo album, "#willpower," our pop's reigning queen of doing whatever you want all the time oozes all sorts of nonchalant braggadocio alongside the Black Eyed Peas honcho, Wiz Khalifa and French Montana. Amidst a background of sharp, shifting digital shapes, the four stars keep it simple and boastful, with Will getting his own cadre of clones to back him up on the dancefloor.
This club-ready track finds the Black Eye Pea leader feeling pretty good about himself as he brags about how his profile has risen over the years. And the futuristic clip is the latest example of Cyrus' budding MC skills, which she shows off in the video, along with her signature vocals on the song's hook. The party starts with Will and Cyrus posing on an all-black background as red geometric shapes flutter behind them. she joins him dressed in a black leather bra, matching high-waisted shorts, heels and a gold-chain pattern Chanel jacket.
"We be in the club, bottles on deck/And goddamit, goddamit I'm feeling myself," Will and Cyrus sing in unison, as the BEP boss switches through a series of fly outfits while "Terminator"-style digital graphics flash over his body. Montana's verse finds him hanging in the club, proving his swag by fanning a giant stack of bills and making it rain in his digital playground. "I made it to the top cuz I do it fly," Will raps over the spare, bouncy bass beat. "Feelin' f***in' lucky like the f***in' Irish/I see the whole game from my third iris/I tour the whole world like a dirty pirate/To give my whole club some Miley Cyrus."
Standing in the middle of an infinity shot of red pyramids, Cyrus does her thing, twerking out her NSFW bars about late, fuzzy nights. "Now everybody trippin' like they poppin' molly/Up in the club is where you find me," she raps. "I do it real big never do it tiny/If you 'bout the bulls*** don't remind me." The ode to looking in the mirror and liking what you see also includes some verses from Khalifa about, what else? Hitting the club with paper, bottles and his usual party supplies. By the end all four artists are bouncing around together on the futurescape before their images disappear like a TV turning off.

Future and Miley Cyrus get "Real And True"

After much teasing, Atlanta rapper Future brings the camera crew to outer space in the highly-anticipated new futuristic video on MTV immediately before the start of its "2013 MTV EMA" for his collaboration with Miley Cyrus and G.O.O.D Music crooner Mr. Hudson titled "Real And True," the Mike Will Made It-produced tune will be the third official single from 29-year-old Future's upcoming sophomore studio album "Honest," scheduled for release in early 2014 via Freebandz, A1, Epic Records.
Future, who recently got engaged with Ciara, spit-sings of unconditional love on the new love song. Cyrus and Mr. Hudson alternate belting the hook on the "Honest" track, while Future harmonizes." Future explained during an appearance on MTV's RapFix Live that the English singer-songwriter Mr. Hudson sent him the hook ready for his raps. "I worked with Miley Cyrus when we were working on her project, for her album," he said. "I was doing some records in Vegas and Mr. Hudson sent a hook back he did on a Mike Will track. He played it for Miley and she wanted to be a part of it, so I'm putting the record on my album also."
Future's been making tender crossover ballads for years, but "Real And True," a monogamy-celebrating prom song that's smartly pegged to Future and Ciara's engagement, is the first one that will make it to the pop charts. No one does wide-eyed, goose-bumped pillow talk quite like Future does. Here, his lyrics are stubbornly innocent, if sung with more clarity than ever before. Future showed up on Cyrus' recent album "Bangerz." But it's still a bit of a shock to hear Cyrus on an actual Future track. The new "Real And True" is a planetarium synth ballad with a chorus from Cyrus and whitebread Mr. Hudson along for the ride. It's a weird song!
Directed by Rankin, the picturesque visual for "Real And True" sees the three take the roles of astronauts on a mission. Future and Mr. Hudson start the video in a spacecraft, where they've located an unconscious Cyrus on a planet who stars as a silver-sheen nude alien that has an unexplained, intense bond with the human Future. From there, the video shows the budding romance between Future and Cyrus, as Future falls in love with her despite their differences in origin. "It's about somebody sacrificing their life for love, This video is probably one of the most special videos to me" Future told MTV.

Mike WiLL Made It debuts "23" feat. Miley Cyrus

Mike WiLL Made It filmed a sexy, smoky, high-school-themed video for the silly, fun, insanely listenable "23," the lead single from American record producer's upcoming debut album, "Est. in 1989 Pt.3." The track is a homage to Michael Jordan and his signature Nike sneaker, and features Miley Cyrus, Wiz Khalifa and Juicy J rapping like they just got a shoe deal. The title is a reference to the basketball legend's shirt number, which he wore as it was half (then rounded up) of his brother, Larry's number 45. When Michael was at high school, he believed that he only had half of Larry's skills and wanted to be at least half as good.
Wiz's and Juicy's verses were recorded first; Mike WiLL wanted a female to record the remaining verse. After he and Miley completed her single "We Can't Stop", he played Miley "23." Miley liked the song and immediately recorded the verse. Mike WiLL was originally hesitant to have Miley on the song, but after hearing her record the verse he approved of it. "23" features a midtempo beat and is the first song recorded which features Miley rapping. Its lyrics refer to Air Jordan sneakers, and in the chorus Miley raps about recreational drug use.
The '90s gave birth to Miley Cyrus, and now she's returning the favor by paying homage to the decade of Cross Colors and Saved by the Bell. Cyrus told MTV News why she was so eager to get on the cut. "He had had this track '23' with Wiz and Juicy already, and it's just on some cool like old-school J s**t and that's what's really cool about it," she said. "And like people wouldn't expect me to be on a song about Jordan... right now all they really see of me and Juicy is me at his concert way too twerked up, they haven't seen what we can do when were together and when were together it's this crazy kind of vibe because it's not what people would really expect."
Filmed in Brooklyn, the high school-themed video was directed by Hannah Lux-Davis, and it opens with the school principal leaving his office and Mike WiLL entering and playing the song on a Beats Pill. In the video, the 20-year-old "Wrecking Ball" songstress changes into a Bulls-inspired minidress, a bikini styled like a Michael Jordan Chicago Bulls basketball singlet with the number 23, and uses the foam hand which featured in her performance at the 2013 MTV Video Music Awards. Wiz raps his verse in a chemistry lab, and Juicy's verse is given in the school trophy room and is intercut with a school pep rally.

Miley Cyrus swings around the "Wrecking Ball"

Miley Cyrus strips down while lamenting how hard she's been wrecked by love in the just-released video for the heartbroken counterpoint "Wrecking Ball," that is sad and raunchy. The singer, who is best known for twerking as of late, momentarily offering fans a more vulnerable side with tearful eyes as she sings of lost love in a very passionate manner before returning to her raunchy ways. The 20-year-old singer's video has one clear message: "Don't you ever say I just walked away/ I will always want you."
This big emotional breakup ballad was released as a promotional single from Cyrus' upcoming "Bangerz" album. Cyrus penned the synth-driven track with Canadian composer Stephan Moccio. "I can't live a lie, running for my life/ I will always want you." Love on the rocks? The lyrics seem directed at her on-again-off-again love with fiancé, actor Liam Hemsworth. With its stark close-up shots of Cyrus weepily delivering lyrics about love's destructive properties, "Wrecking Ball" seems also to be the singer's attempt to prove she's not just a controversy magnet.
A barely clothed Cyrus sports a a cut-off white tank top and panties with maroon laced boots in Terry Richardson-directed video, which begins with a somber Cyrus standing in front of a completely white backdrop and crying while performing the song. For a second, the viewer may forget about the tongue contorting, outrageously dressed twerker she's been lately. But it's not long before the "We Can't Stop" singer returns to her raunchy maneuvers, even while crooning about love loss. "I came in like a wrecking ball/ I never hit so hard in love," she sings while appearing in a cut-off white tank top and panties with maroon laced boots and holding a sledgehammer. "All I wanted was to break your walls/ All you ever did was wreck me/ Yea you wreck me."
The clip then sees Cyrus proceeds to ride a wrecking ball like a swing in her white cotton attire before ditching the clothes altogether and free flowing in the air in her birthday suit. "I came in like a wrecking ball/ I never hit so hard in love," Cyrus croons. Her sexual innuendos are visible throughout the video as Cyrus rides the wrecking ball like it's a sex swing and licks her sledge hammer in a move that can't be anything but sexual. Cyrus' tearful ballad paints a different picture - one of a heartbroken young woman trying to find a way back from a devastating ending of what she thought was true love. Cyrus wasn't kidding when she said she can't stop!

Big Sean getting through tough times in "Fire"

Big Sean drops a provocative racy video for "Fire," as a promotional single from his upcoming sophomore studio album, "Hall of Fame," due August 27. The track has its soulful energy. Over colorful synth and a motivational chant, Sean playfully highlights his rap journey. While Sean's flow is as laid-back as ever, he delivers his bars with more than enough power to make himself heard over the scorching instrumental. "It's about getting through the tough times, through the fire, and always evolving. Whether it's in relationships, personal, in your work, etc.," says Sean of the song.
The Detroit rapper calls on Miley Cyrus to play leading lady in the striking visuals, directed by Matthew Williams. In it, Cyrus is seen scantily clad, wears scintillating outfits like a crop top with torn booty shorts and gold lamé lingerie. Combined with some sensual moves in slow motion, writhing on a smoldering block of marble, or simply showing off her killer stems on set. The whole vibe of the video is also spliced between images of a blooming red rose, pink flower and flames in the video, represents Cyrus' growth following a painful breakup. It's all Cyrus all the time, with Sean making a brief appearance as a still image on fire.
The 25-year-old rapper intentionally made Cyrus the centerpiece in "Fire," as he explained: "[It's] a special video for a special song. I got Miley Cyrus for this video because she's somebody who's had a personal evolution as a lot of us have had. Besides all the personal stories I tell in the song, there are so many other ways people can make it through the fire. I think Miley did a great job as a metaphor for strong women, being strong person after heartbreak, or maybe even deeper problems but in the end remaining as elegant as a rose. It's a cool visual that has a cool concept and meaning to it."
In fact, the clip, is a stylishly serene affair - apart from Cyrus breaking a red rose like a vase, not much actually happens in its almost three minutes. That's because Sean wanted there to be "a lot of metaphors," and he wanted Cyrus to bring them to life. "I wanted somebody who was beautiful and I wanted to take her out of her element. People looking at her like she's twerking and all this stuff, but she's an awesome person and she's cool. She symbolizes the beauty of a lot of women. Women overcoming different relationships and being as beautiful as a flower. You'll see a lot of metaphors in the video." Watch Cyrus model for Sean.

Miley Cyrus gets wild in "We Can't Stop"

Three years after first flaunting her new found maturity in "Can't Be Tamed," Miley Cyrus is still out to prove that she's a grown up. She couldn't wait any longer to rock out and has emerged from a creative cocoon of sorts to release an outlandish comeback mind-blowing surreal video for "We Can't Stop," the lead single to her upcoming fourth still-untitled effort. The 20-year-old former Disney star can't stop trying to shed her Disney image and just wants to clear the air once and for all.
Cyrus has asked her followers to repeatedly watch the "We Can't Stop" clip in order to break a record on Vevo -- a goal that may just come to fruition. Less than two hours after it was posted on YouTube, the video has so far received 2,581,767 views (and counting) and more than 100,000 likes. The clip is fantastically unhinged and purposefully button-pushing; this music video simply needs to be seen to be believed. The song itself was quick to stir up controversy with a reference to cocaine and an easily misheard non-reference to the drug Molly.
Cyrus described the Mike WiLL Made-It produced song as "more funky and R&B, pop" than her earlier records, calling it "infectious"; she also said that it is "exactly what I wanted the first sound to be," and that she kept the song in secret for one year. The lyrics of the song talk about a party, such as, "This is our house/ This is our rules and we can't stop/ And we won't stop." Cyrus admits that the single says "where I am in my life right now." There's something kind of brilliantly woozy about it; it sounds quintessentially California. The whole thing just feels strange, and kind of wonderful. It's a grown-up sequel to "Party in the U.S.A." She's just partying a little harder now.
Directed by Diane Martel, the house party-themed clip is kind of an extreme mashup between a Sky Ferreira video and Lady Gaga's "Just Dance" video infused with Cyrus' new image. It's more reminiscent of Fiona Apple's provocative "Criminal" video than anything the former Disney Channel star ever did in the past. When she's not twerking, spanking her pals or dry-humping the bed, she is seen dancing with teddy bears and making out with her Barbie doll alter-ego in the pool. Smoke billows from crotches, paint spills from hands and Cyrus continues to think that wearing sunglasses indoors is cool. All in all, proving that she is, indeed, about dat life.

Snoop Lion debuts "Ashtrays And Heartbreaks"

Snoop Lion and Miley Cyrus have put together some slow-motion and preside over the various ongoings of a crowded city in the new visuals for their collaboration "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks," which is the lead single appears on the 41-year-old rapper-turned-rasta's latest reggae effort, "Reincarnated," the twelfth studio album by Snoop Dogg, and the first under his new, reggae-fied moniker Snoop Lion, and he certainly tells one hypnotic, hazy story! His new reggae sound is evidently turning Snoop into a poet as the song about love and loss tells a visual story that features a toked up Snoop on the streets of a slowed down LA and glass reflections of a spiritual Cyrus.
"Reincarnated's highlight is "Ashtrays and Heartbreaks," with, yes, 20-year-old Cyrus, still in her first flush of post-teen stonerdom, sounding every bit like the sort of suburban teen was led not-quite-astray by Snoop's previous incarnation. Produced by Major Lazer, Ariel Rechtshaid and Dre Skull, the Reggae-flavored summery track finds Snoop proclaiming, "Tonight there's gonna be a lot of smoke in the air." A heartbroken Cyrus then reminisces about losing those close to her, whether it's the passing away of a family member or a breakup. "Is there any possibility that everyone feels like me," she sings, "You're gone, but you're never missed."
Snoop told MTV News that he feels Cyrus is often criticized by the press unfairly. "She loves what I do and I really love what she does, so for us to come together, it's bold and courageous," he said. "People just expect so much from her because they've been watching her whole life, from being a kid. She's just ready to be a grown up and express herself, and I support it." Asked how this duet came about, Snoop recalled: "It's basically what we are both going through right now. We're both going through transformation, we both love making music and doing what we do and speaking from our hearts, and it's just a great collaboration."
Rapper and singer find power in pain in the PR Brown-directed cool-toned video. In which the two artists are look positively chill and only seen as projections on a variety of reflective surfaces, including car windows, store fronts, and a heart-shaped pair of sunglasses, and so many mirrored surfaces. The video reflects the feel-good nature of the song, which encourages to the listener to "raise a glass to the memories [and] set them free," not surprisingly, Snoop puffs some celebratory smoke in slow-motion as well.

Miley Cyrus Defiles Bob Dylan's "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go"

Adding to her stellar portfolio of recordings, Miley Cyrus has released a new music video for her country-fied cover of "You're Gonna Make Me Lonesome When You Go," her contribution to the folk legend Bob Dylan tribute four-disc collection "Chimes of Freedom: The Songs of Bob Dylan Honoring 50 Years of Amnesty International," which has just released yesterday, and features covers by Adele, Darren Criss, Ke$ha, Natasha Bedingfield, Maroon 5, and it will benefit Amnesty's life-saving human rights work.
"You're Going to Make Me Lonesome When You Go," is one of the more plaintive tracks off the rock & roll legend's classic Blood on the Tracks. If your inner rockism hasn't rage-jolted you into a coma, you can watch the newly released music video after the click. Cyrus may be known for her hit songs like "The Climb" and "Party in the U.S.A.," but it's her latest song that truly shows you what a great singer she actually is. Cyrus rose to the occasion, proving she's capable of genres beyond pop and that she thrives vocally in a folk/country environment.
In the "Can't Be Tamed" singer's most mature move yet, she performs heartfelt, country-twinged rendition of the classic song, and it makes a certain kind of sense - Cyrus is trying to transition to a post-Disney life, and nothing screams "I'M SERIOUS!" more than an earnest Bob Dylan cover. Her version isn't bad, more country than Dylan's take but certainly pleasant enough with the steel guitar and the Southern twang. The track shows off a more mature, lovely side of her. Beautifully phrased.
The no frills video fits the low-key song, which features nothing more than shots of the 19-year-old dresses down in a sleeveless vest and ripped jeans and sitting on a stool in the middle of an abandoned house in an otherwise empty room, crooning her heart out the mournful ballad alongside guitarist Johnzo West, while additional musicians accompany the star from other rooms, putting the focus right where Dylan would want it - on the song itself. It's plain, simple and smart. The subdued video shows fans a new side of the young singer. It's a completely different kind of party in the U.S.A.

Miley Cyrus Hits the Club In 'Who Owns My Heart'

Having already declared that she can't be tamed, Miley Cyrus now wants to find out "Who Owns My Heart." In a new music video, the 17-year-old pop star continues her transition from clean-cut Disney star to her racy and provocative teenage pop sensation. The sound of music spinning on the dance floor wakes Cyrus up, dragging her to get dressed up and join the crowd. "Who owns my heart?" she asks in the chorus. "Is it love or it is art?" There's no doubt she's recently taken her music to a whole new level, and Cyrus's latest single "Who Owns My Heart" proves it.
Littered with strobing rave beats and sultry, synthesized vocals, "Who Owns My Heart," the synth-heavy number about love on the dance floor is the second European single from her third dance-laden album, "Can't Be Tamed," which is all about girls empowering themselves. It follows in the same footsteps of the title track's video released earlier this year: dark lights, lots of bare Cyrus parts and writhing around on flat surfaces. Cyrus told MTV that the song is "just about freeing yourself from anything you think is holding you back. And I think that's really important, especially for girls, because so many people are told, 'No, you can't do something,' or, 'You need to be this because Mom and Dad say that, teachers say this.'" The club-ready dance tune explores Cyrus's confusion over "who owns her heart," and she clearly isn't holding back her sexy image despite the criticism she's received in the past.
Cyrus is turning up the heat again and proved in her new video that she's not about tame her provocative image, despite only being 17. The pop princess' evolution into a pop-dance diva continues with her dancey, vampy new video for "Who Owns My Heart," which was filmed on August 7 in Detroit, and was directed by Robert Hales, who also helmed the clip for "Can't Be Tamed," again helps lead the pop princess down the road, away from Hannah Montana, and toward something much more. Cyrus is still determined to prove herself as a teenage rebel in her new video, which starts with Cyrus crawling out of bed to get ready for a night out. Cyrus stares at the camera like a panther on the prowl, squirms around in a sequined halter top, looking for her next fleshy feast on the dark dance floor. The bathroom scene is sure to cause flashbacks to Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" video with Cyrus' rollers, hair net, and white wife-beater tank. At the party, when she's not chilling out in the mansion's study, or writhing on a big, wooden table, she's on the dance floor grinding up against others. The video concludes with Cyrus waking up on the same bed as in the video's intro, as if the entire thing was dream. Turns out 17 year olds weren't out all night feeling each other up at the club -- Cyrus just imagined it. "Who Owns My Heart" appears to be her coming of age video. We get it she is getting older and trying to shed the Disney "I am a little girl" image. Anywho, this new song is sure to get all of the Cyrus maniacs moving.

Miley Cyrus "Can't Be Tamed" In Sexy New Video

The Disney teen-star Miley Cyrus has left Hannah Montana behind. In case that wasn't obvious by the singer's choice to exit the Disney Channel show this year, Cyrus makes it abundantly clear in her just released new video on E! News for "Can't Be Tamed," the first and title track from her upcoming third studio album, hits stores on June 22. The 17-year-old Disney star dances around a pole in a giant birdcage wearing a burlesque-style outfit of hotpants, corset, knee-high tassled-boots and long gloves.
Hollywood Records described "Can't Be Tamed" as a "a self empowering song in which Miley asserts that she has to stay true to herself in relationships." The track serves as a solid dance song that has rhythm and beat to it and is clearly representing her new view and claiming her independence and stating to everyone that she "Can't Be Tamed." When you take the time to listen to her new single, you'll realize that she has sort of skipped a whole portion of her life. In an interview with Ryan Seacrest, Cyrus said: "The reason I loved doing this video is because I wanted it to be something different for a female artist. It is a sexy video, and you can't really take that away from it, but it's not the premise."
Cyrus has evolved from a teeny bopper's idol to a full-fledged pop star. She also evolves into a bird in Robert Hales-directed new video, which features Cyrus performing with backup dancers throughout a museum. She is first trapped in a giant cage, being observed by spectators, and then escapes and trashes the museum. In regards to the video's theme, Cyrus explained, "I think [the video] explains my life but it doesn't exclude other people's lives. It's not just about how fabulous and glamorous and all this. It's about explaining the song and living the lyrics. I don't wanna be in a cage. I want to be free and do what I love." The 17-year-old pop sensation appears to be flaunting about the fact that she is a grown woman now. As if her stripper pole "performances" and risqué Vogue shoots with her dad weren't enough, reining teen pop star has to let the world know yet again that she isn't Hannah Montana.

Miley Cyrus' Final Cut For "When I Look at You"

Destiny Hope Miley Cyrus is ramping up the promotion for her forthcoming movie, "The Last Song" with the release of a new music video, "When I Look At You," is a big piano driven ballad. Playing around with a long delay on her vocals, the Disney star duets with herself quite nicely in this final official cut and new version of music video, will be released through ABC Family today to promote the new film. Unlike the previously-released video which highlights on her singing the tune, this new one gives more footage from movie, "The Last Song," directed by Julie Anne Robinson and based on Nicholas Sparks' best-selling novel of the same title, is scheduled to arrive in U.S. theaters on March 31, where the track serves as its theme song, and marks another step in Cyrus's evolution to adult roles. That 17-year-old sure is growing up fast.
The final cut features Cyrus sitting beside Australian actor and real-life boyfriend, Liam Hemsworth while playing grand piano. With movie footage to use, the production values are high, but also Cyrus's digging deep on this heartstring-tugging, piano-driven ballad clip. The power ballad single is also appears as the second single from Cyrus's first mini album "The Time of Our Lives [Walmart EP]" by Hollywood Records, and produced by Adam Shankman, the guest judge of "So You Think You Can Dance", along with Hillary Lindsey.
"'When I Look at You' was actually a song that was going to go on my next record," Cyrus said in a behind-the-scene clip of the video shoot. "We listened to it and went, 'Oh my gosh, this could not be more perfect.' It describes the entire movie." The movie is a story about family, first loves, second chances and the moments in life that lead you back home. Cyrus starring as a rebellious girl, who is sent to a Southern beach town for the summer to stay with her father. Through their mutual love of music, and a romantic hook up with Hemsworth's character slowly causes Cyrus to see things in a new light and she eventually reconnects with her father. The plot is similar to "Hannah Montana, The Movie" and obviously pitched at her tween audience, which is growing older along with her.
Reception of the song has thus far been positive, with Variety magazine's Lael Lowenstein calling it an "almost inevitable hit single," and Allmusic's Heather Phares noting that "When she lets her [...] ballad-singing diva come to the fore, Cyrus really shines. Melinda M. Thompson of The Oregonian believed that by playing the piano, Cyrus "showcased her many talents and proved she really just beginning to grasp her star power."Mikael Wood of The Los Angeles Times commented, "Once again, make-believe Miley was more compelling than the real thing."

Cyrus arrives at the theater in a black 1979 Pontiac Trans Am. Cyrus wears shorts, a black tank top, cowboy boots, and a vest. As she exits the car she is joined by four of her friends. Other teenagers continue to arrive in vintage cars. Cyrus sings while standing in the back of a pick-up truck with a microphone in her hand and dancing with her friends. The video proceeds to Cyrus leaning against a wall which reads "Corral Drive-In". As the video progresses in both settings, an American flag unravels before a single wall in a vacant landscape and, afterward, Cyrus performs before it while being sprinkled with glitter. The video then features shots of Cyrus and background dancers at night in the theater, balancing on swings in a jungle gym. In the conclusion of the music video, Cyrus and her friends perform the song on a stage while the a projection of the the American flag and the letters "USA" flash behind them.
