Miley Cyrus, Raye, Charlie Puth & More: New Music Friday Guide

Miley Cyrus, “Younger You (From the “Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special)” In 2017, Miley Cyrus released her Younger Now album. In 2023, she shared the introspective single “Used To Be Young.” And now, she has released perhaps her most emotional reflection yet with “Younger You” — a song that closes out her Hannah Montana 20th Anniversary Special and that during its Hollywood premiere this week caused the audience to tear up as it played for the first time.

A perfect blend of Cyrus’ Tennessee roots with her pop sensibilities, “Younger You” is written as a letter not only to her fans but to herself, with lyrics like: “Somewhere along the way, we lost touch/ We used to be so happy just because” and “I know your story isn’t done, but do you love who you’ve become?” The song, though brief, is filled with gentle reminders, like to call mom and dad, but above all else, it’s a reminder to never forget the younger versions of ourselves — and to always try and do right by them.
