Nothing cures heartache quite like Miley Cyrus breakup songs. While the singer has written and performed tons of bops over the years, none of them hit quite as hard as her songs about failed relationships — especially the songs she produced following her split from Liam Hemsworth after a decade together. Her song "Slide Away," which is reportedly about her divorce from Hemsworth, hits particularly hard, and if you’re looking for Miley Cyrus songs to listen to after a breakup, her 2019 breakup ballad def makes the list.
The track was released just days after the two announced their decision to separate in August 2019 after 10 years together, and the music video seemingly included nods to their relationship. Fans also think she threw shade at Hemsworth during her VMAs performance of the song, when she changed the lyrics to "You're right, I'm grown now." Interestingly enough, during an August 2020 interview with Apple Music's Zane Lowe, Cyrus said she wrote the song months before her marriage actually came to an end. "I wrote 'Slide Away' in February of the year before. And I just keep speaking these things into existence," she said. BRB, sobbing.
Cyrus has certainly been through it when it comes to love, and these breakup songs from Cyrus will hit you like a wrecking ball.
Relationships are all about the climb, but if you’re reached the end of your love story, then these breakup songs will help you slide away from the wreckage, even if it takes a little while.
