addiction.

'Flowers', while she acknowledged she isn't proud of her actions during that
period around 2020's 'Plastic Hearts' album, reports ‘Female First UK’.
-
- She told Apple Music 1's 'The Zane Lowe Show', I know I
needed to fall one more time. I just, I had to. It just never would have
happened this way. I just never would have been sitting here. There were times
in that section. I’m not proud of them. Definitely not my best moments, not
some of my best work, any of that. But it all led me to writing ‘Flowers,’
which then was some sort of key right into the lock of all healing”.

- As per ‘Female First UK’, Miley reflected on how her record
'Endless Summer Vacation' was a game changer for her, and it all came down to
her getting clean.
-
- She added, I’ve learned this about myself over the years.
The sobriety is like, that’s like my God. I need it, I live for it. I mean that
it’s changed my entire life”. 'Flowers', which dropped in 2023 as the lead
single for 'Endless Summer Vacation', was a huge success, and landed Miley her
first ever Grammy Awards for Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year
in 2024.
-
- She explained, I think somewhere inside of me, I needed maybe
to hold a trophy and just feel for a moment that I have something that I can
hold in my hands that feels like a true achievement. And so at the Grammys,
that’s why I went, it was actually for healing”.
-
- Due to her performance anxiety and not allowing herself to
accept how much she wanted to win a Grammy, she almost didn't turn up to the
ceremony but she's glad she did.
