Miley Cyrus fans spent much of Friday pointing out the similarities between Cyrusâ new video for âSlide Awayâ and her 2013 smash hit âWe Canât Stop.â
In the new clip, the 26-year-old, who dropped the song last month, is floating in a pool wearing a slinky gold dress, surrounded by the wreckage of what appears to have been a rager the night before.
As the video flashes back to scenes from the party, Cyrus maintains a sense of melancholy with a sad, pouty look on her face as others enjoy the revelry.
âSlide Awayâ mentions drugs and alcohol with lyrics declaring: âI want my house in the hills / donât want the whiskey and pills / I donât give up easily but I donât think Iâm down.â
Later she sings âmove on weâre not 17,â and many have speculated that these lyrics are about problems between Cyrus and her soon-to-be-ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. The pair, who met in 2009 while filming âThe Last Song,â married in late December 2018, but announced that they had ended their relationship in a joint statement in August â just days before she released âSlide Away.â
Hemsworth references aside, the video features a lot of imagery that echoes what was seen in âWe Canât Stop,â which is a far more upbeat party scene. Hereâs what eagle-eyed fans had to say about the video:
