Miley had a falling out with her dad Billy Ray Cyrus for years, but they’ve worked their way back to a healthy relationship.
“I wrote this song about my dad, because I wanted him to tell me, even though they were secrets, even though I didn’t really wanna know, I wanted to be the one he felt safe enough to tell me the things that were damning and damaging to the family,” Miley said on the Reclaiming with Monica Lewinsky podcast. “But I wanted him to think that, as a middle child, I’m old enough that I could take some of that you know. And I always wanted my family to feel like I was the safe place, that I always had the white flag when they came to talk to me.”
Watch the music video below!
The song starts, “Secrets, I wanna keep your secrets / Like sunlight in the shadows / Like footsteps in the grass / I won’t ever break my promise / Like a songbird in the silence / Like stones against the glass.”
Miley sings in the chorus, “Hero / Can I be your hero? / Call off all your forces / A white flag in the war.”
