It happens to all of us. We grow up, and change hits us like a wave. Even though, throughout our 20s, we wrack our brains wondering why we grew up, missing days we could go back to in a heartbeat if someday a time machine conjured itself on our front porch, However, all of the longing and missed beats settle down once the bar hits 30.
Feeling this same maturity, Miley Cyrus just gave her fans the record of the year with her recent hit release, ‘Used To Be Young’. In the song, Cyrus pours her heart out for the people to inspect.
She looks back on her past decade, which painted her an infamous image. The crazy fallen pop star who changed the trajectory of her career just by sticking out her tongue a little too often.

Well, it seems like the wave called adulting hit Cyrus just as hard as all of us. She talks about growing up and moving past the heartbreaks and “wasted nights,” which, she sings, were never really wasted.
The singer’s last release, ‘Flower’ too became an anthem for self-love campaigns, and it looks like this new track will be the official anthem for the millennials kickstarting their 30s. Fans are already calling the song “The Climb pt 2” referencing Miley’s 2009 release that also became a hit for its powerful message and raw vocals.
Used to be Young by Miley Cyrus is the perfect epitome of realising that its ok to be young,wild and free. Its honestly just a phaseBecause when we get older, we’re going to remember and cherished every moment of our young days 🌥️

finding out that the chords used for Used To Be Young are reminiscent of The Climb is not something I needed to find out in the cafe bc im really trying to not be emo in front of all these people

I don’t know if it was intended or not, but the chorus of ‘used to be young’ really sounds similar to that of ‘the climb’. Both the songs have huge impact on me. Growing up with Miley feels like there’s someone ahead of me, seeing me and validating me. pic.twitter.com/EXJ7CkaYLv

Songs To Listen To If You Loved Miley Cyrus’ Used To Be Young
The alternative/indie pop song is a long-awaited ballad from the singer. It is part of her Endless Summer Vacation studio album, which also has hits like ‘Jaded’, ‘Flowers,’ and more. If you are also hooked on her latest release like we are, then here are six songs you should listen to and mix things up a bit.
When We Were Young, Adele
This song might not be a new addition to everyone’s playlist, but nonetheless, it deserves a shoutout in this recommendation list. Especially since Miley mentioned in an Instagram story that while writing ‘Used To Be Young, she thought of Adele pretty often.
Mountain With A View, Kelsea Ballerini
If you could have a mix of Taylor Swift’s voice and Miley Cyrus’ raw songwriting, then this would be the dream mutation. The song looks back at a faded relationship that took its course as the singer grew up. The song makes the goodbye hopeful rather than just a tearful farewell, much like Miley’s new release, which sees moving on with a hint of letting go and a mountain of growth.
Panic Attacks In Paradise: Ashnikko
Roaming the same lines of raw vocals as Miley’s ‘Used To Be Young’, Ashnikko’s song is much different than her usual viral rock/grunge image. While Miley’s song talks about growing out of the party scene and ending that phase of her life, Ashnikko, who is still in her prime as a 20-something, describes the life that Miley seems to have waved goodbye to.
Lonely: Noah Cyrus
Much darker than her sister’s hit, Noah’s song will give you the same goosebumps as Miley’s. The desperation and exposed honesty of Noah’s voice in the song are enough for any listener to shed a few tears upon listening to the track. Much like Ashnikko’s song, Noah too shows signs of being shrouded by the blinds of youth that make life seem lonely and impossible.
We Could Be Looking For The Same Thing—Silver Jews
If, after listening to Miley’s hit for the better half of your day, you have an inkling of interest in getting into indie bands, then Silver Jews is a good starter option. This song would feel familiar to Miley fans as it echoes hints of her alternative/indie vibe.
Cheesin’ – Cautious Clay
If you are someone who frequently listens to SZA, H.E.R., or even Daniel Ceasar and are looking to step out of your R&B comfort zone after replaying Miley’s ‘Used To Be Young’, then this one is definitely more your vibe. An alternative R&B track, Clay’s song is a joy ride for indie first-timers.
