Miley Cyrus Debuts New Song ‘More to Lose’ Ahead of Highly Anticipated Album ‘Something Beautiful’
Miley Cyrus surprised fans this weekend with a live debut of her latest song, “More to Lose,” during an intimate performance in New York City. The new track is part of her forthcoming concept album, Something Beautiful, which will be released on May 30. The stripped-down performance, captured by fan footage and later shared on Cyrus’s Instagram, offered a glimpse into the raw, emotional territory the artist is preparing to explore in her next project.
She introduced “More to Lose” with typical charm and self-awareness, calling it “an instant classic,” balancing humour with heartache. Before launching the song, Miley Cyrus addressed the crowd, saying –
“I have a lot of people that I’ve known and loved for a very long time in this room — even a couple of exes.”
Lyrics That Cut Deep
The ballad, performed at a piano, reveals a vulnerable side of Miley Cyrus that fans have come to love. “Oh, I’ll stay when the ecstasy is far away / And I pray that it’s comin’ ’round again,” she sang, leading into the emotional chorus: “And you say it, ‘I wish it wasn’t true, oh’ / I knew someday, the one would have to choose / I thought we had more to lose.”
The song captures the emotional complexities of love, regret, and acceptance—familiar terrain for Miley Cyrus, but here presented with a mature, stripped-back sound that differs from her previous releases. The honesty of the lyrics and her minimalistic piano arrangement create an intimate atmosphere that resonated with both the live audience and fans online.

Social Media Teasers Build Buzz
Just days before the New York performance, Miley Cyrus teased the song with a video post on X (formerly Twitter), where she’s seen playing the same melody at a piano in a recording studio. “Sharing this song from the same place it was created… at the piano,” she wrote. That preview sparked widespread speculation and anticipation, which she delivered on with the full live debut.
Following the New York performance, her Instagram post included a short video of the song and several striking photos of the singer in a glamorous Moncler ensemble, continuing her tradition of blending fashion with music to tell a complete story.
A New Era With ‘Something Beautiful’
Something Beautiful marks Cyrus’s ninth studio album and her first since 2023’s Endless Summer Vacation. Executive produced by Cyrus herself and Grammy-winning producer Shawn Everett, the album promises to be more than just a sonic journey. The 13-track album will premiere as a “visual pop opera” at the Tribeca Film Festival on June 6, followed by a live Q&A session with the artist. The visual element is expected to offer deeper insight into the album’s themes — loss, transformation, and self-discovery.
“More to Lose” is already shaping up to be a standout track and emotional centrepiece of Miley Cyrus’s upcoming new album, Something Beautiful. If the New York performance is any indication, this album could represent one of Miley Cyrus’s most personal and artistic statements to date. Fans are now counting down to May 30, eager to hear — and see — what else she has in store.
