Miley Cyrus Shares Emotional Story About Gifted Song to Her Father
Miley Cyrus recently opened up about a heartfelt moment when she gifted her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, a song she had written. The "Wrecking Ball" singer shared the touching story during an interview on the CBS News Mornings show on October 5, 2025. This emotional exchange highlighted the complex relationship between Miley and her father, which has seen its share of ups and downs.
Miley revealed that her father was deeply moved by the gift. She described how her dad cried upon receiving the song, a moment that surprised her. “My dad cried. Everyone I say that to, they go, ‘I remember when my dad cried.’” She added that it was the first time she had seen her father cry since his own father’s funeral. “You don't see your dad cry a lot. I don't know if I've seen my dad cry since his dad passed away.”
Despite their complicated history, Miley emphasized that she and her father have always found a way to connect through music. “But with me and my dad, we just have always communicated better through music with each other,” she said.
In June 2025, Miley mentioned on the Monica Lewinsky podcast that her new album would include a track called "Feelings." She also shared that her family is now on better terms after her parents' divorce in 2022. During her CBS Morning interview, Miley discussed how the track "Secrets," which she composed for her father, brought mixed emotions for both of them.
She explained that "Feelings" made it easier for her to express her thoughts to her father, as they have always communicated more effectively through music. “We didn't feel that there needed to be a whole conversation, because he and I just communicate better through song. And so once he got the song, it feels like it said something in a couple of minutes that would have taken, you know, maybe a family with a more structured, therapeutic dynamic a lot of sessions.”
Miley released the "Feelings" track on September 19, 2025, describing it as a “peace offering for someone I had lost for a time but always loved.” The song also featured her father's favorite band, Fleetwood Mac, which added another layer of significance to the gift.
Billy Ray Cyrus publicly thanked his daughter on Instagram for the track. He expressed his gratitude and love for Miley, saying, “For my birthday, Miley gave me the gift of music and wrote me a song called Secrets and got my favorite musicians Fleetwood Mac to play on it! I love you Mile."
This gesture not only showcased Miley's talent as a songwriter but also highlighted the healing power of music in mending relationships. Through her song, Miley was able to convey her feelings and reconnect with her father in a meaningful way. The emotional impact of the song was evident, as it brought both Miley and Billy Ray Cyrus to tears, marking a significant moment in their relationship.
