Miley Cyrus has released the follow-up to "Malibu". The new song is titled "Inspired", and true to its title, it is a very uplifting song. The 24-year-old singer first debuted the track during her performance on "Today" show, followed by another performance at Ariana Grande's "One Love Manchester" benefit concert.
Similar to "Malibu", "Inspired" has country-tinged vibe. The sweet and weepy song is a tribute to Miley's father Billy Ray Cyrus as he gets a shout-out on the first verse. The song also finds Miley being nostalgic over her childhood and pondering about future.
"We are meant for more/ Pull the handle on the door that opens up to change/ I know that sounds so strange, to think/ We are meant for more/ Pull the handle on the door that opens up to change/ I know that sounds so strange/ 'Cause you've always felt so small, but know you aren't at all/ And I hope you feel inspired," she rhymes on the chorus.
On the heels of the release of "Inspired", Miley took to Instagram to unveil the cover art of the new song, which she credited to her actor fiance Liam Hemsworth. Along with the artwork, she claimed that the empowering track was released to celebrate LGBT Pride month and "the desperate cry for more love in this world."
She also announced that she would donate any profits from the song to the Happy Hippie Foundation. She wrote in the caption, "I will be donating my portion of any proceeds to @happyhippiefdn so we can continue our fight against injustice and bring food, shelter and most importantly hope to homeless youth everywhere."
