Miley Cyrus Gets Emotional While Belting Her New Breakup Anthem ‘More to Lose’

Miley Cyrus just gave us another taste of her next album, Something Beautiful. The Grammy winner dropped her latest single, “More to Lose” tonight, debuting a moving rock ballad about heartbreak. And of course, since this is a visual album, she also unveiled the video for song, in which she wears a glittery vintage Mugler bodysuit. It’s also what appears on her album cover.

At a screening of her Something Beautiful film hosted by Spotify in New York this week, Cyrus explained her approach to the album’s luxurious aesthetic. “What I love about this fashion and what I love about these looks is that there was a person behind every single stitch, every backdrop, every lighting, camera, anything that was created was created with a purpose,” she said. “And that is so meaningful to me.”

Despite the opulent styling, the video is quite emotional. Some black-and-white shots show Cyrus near tears as she belts out the song, which appears to be a breakup anthem of some sort. Also at the screening, the singer shared how the album was inspired by the painful moments of her life.

“There’s such a spectrum to beauty, and some of it incorporates heartbreak and loss or death or pain, but sometimes it’s flowers and rainbows, like I said, and new love, which I got to display on that screen,” she said, to the cheers of the crowd. “I feel like there’s always something to look forward to….Everything that I’ve ever lost, I’ve gained in tenfold.”

[Verse 1]
The more I stay, the less I go
We’re toe to toe, but I’m hanging on the wire
Stumbled down the same road before
Say I’m leavin’, but I’m only playing liar
’Cause when you’re lookin’ like

[Pre-Chorus]
A movie star in a worn-out coat
Yeah, throw away my mind
And it happens all the time

[Chorus]
I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it’s comin’ ’round again
And you say it
But I wish it wasn’t true, oh
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I just thought we had more to lose

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm
Mm-mm

[Verse 2]
The TV’s on, but I don’t know
My tears are streamin’ like our favorite show tonight
Tonight
Memories fade likе denim jeans
I try to chase when you’re runnin’ through my mind
’Cause, God, you’re lookin’ like

[Pre-Chorus]
You’re lookin’ like a movie star in a worn-out coat
So I throw away my mind
It happens all the time, uh

[Chorus]
Oh, I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it’s comin’ ’round again
And you say it
But I wish it wasn’t true, oh
I knew someday that one would have to choose
I just thought we had more to lose

[Bridge]
Na, na-na, na-na
Na, na-na, na-na, yeah

[Pre-Chorus]
Yeah, you’re lookin’ like a movie star in a worn-out coat
So I throw away my pride
It happens all the time
God, it happens all the time

[Chorus]
Oh, I stay
When the ecstasy is far away
And I pray
That it’s comin’ ’round again, but it don’t, baby
And you say it
But I wish it wasn’t true, no
I knew someday that one would have to choose
Oh, I knew someday you’d do what I couldn’t do
I just thought we had more to lose

[Post-Chorus]
Mm-mm
Mm, mm-mm
