Something beautiful is coming our way thanks to Miley Cyrus. On March 24, the singer dropped a surprise album announcement on her Instagram with an ethereal photo of her covered in crystals. The singer revealed that her ninth studio album titled Something Beautiful is set to come out on May 30, 2025 and will feature 13 tracks. Then, on May 19, Cyrus dropped the full tracklist, along with two epic features.
After giving us “Flowers” — aka the bop of 2023 — from her Endless Summer Vacation album, Cyrus kept hints at new music very low-key. She first revealed the album in November 2024 while speaking with Harpers Bazaar. During the interview, Cyrus revealed that Something Beautiful was going to be her first visual album, noting that it’s heavily inspired by one of her favorite horror movies, 2018’s Mandy. “It’s a concept album that’s an attempt to medicate somewhat of a sick culture through music,” she said. The album’s also inspired by Pink Floyd’s rock album The Wall. “I would like to be a human psychedelic for people,” she said. “I don’t want anyone trying to be like me or imitate me or even be inspired by me. I want to impact frequencies in your body that make you vibrate at a different level.”
In the days leading up to Cyrus’s March 24 announcement, fans noticed her teasing Something Beautiful. Not only were billboards and posters popping up around the world, but the singer also changed the headers on her official social media accounts. With Something Beautiful around the corner, we won’t have to wait much longer for new music from the singer. Here is everything to know about the release of Something Beautiful.
