The video shows Miley in a dark room, facing the camera directly and singing the song. She fights tears, laughs, sings about how she was called ‘crazy and wild’ when in reality, she was simply living her life as a young woman. The lyrics go:
I know I used to be crazy
I know I used to be fun
You say I used to be wild
I say I used to be young
You tell me time has done changed me
That’s fine, I’ve had a good run
I know I used to be crazy
That’s cause I used to be young
Fans of the singer were emotional after hearing the song. One fan wrote on Youtube, “She really went from #1 in the hearts to #1 public enemy to #1 in the hearts again. She’s been through so much drama while trying to figure out who she is. She is Miley Cyrus. Love her so much.” Another wrote, “Your talent knows no bounds, and your latest song is a testament to that. You’re undoubtedly a genre luminary.”
In a statement following the track’s release, Cyrus explained, “This song is about honoring who we’ve been, loving who we are and celebrating who we will become. I feel proud when reflecting on my past and optimistic when thinking about the future.” She added, “I am grateful to my loyal fans who make my dreams a reality daily. I am sincerely thankful for the stability of your steadfast support. This song is for you.”
