Miley Cyrus on Writing Song for Dad Billy Ray Cyrus After Feud

Miley Cyrus will always adore her dad.

After the Grammy winner made amends with Billy Ray Cyrus following a rough patch in their relationship, she shared insight into writing the song “Secrets” with Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood for her dad. 

“Songs outlive us all,” Miley told E! News’ Will Marfuggi in an exclusive interview at the global premiere of Avatar: Fire and Ash Dec. 1 in Hollywood. “That’s the fun thing about putting out music for someone that you love. It’s adding onto his legacy by attaching this song to him.”

“So, he was really honored,” she continued, noting that it’s “inspiring to have people in your life inspired by you.” 

Writing something beautiful for Billy Ray—who, in addition to Miley, shares Brandi Cyrus, 37, Trace Cyrus, 35, Braison Cyrus, 31, and Noah Cyrus, 24, with ex-wife Tish Cyrus, as well as Christopher Cyrus, 32, with ex Kristin Luckey—was a full-circle moment.

“It’s grown from being a little girl playing him songs on my guitar,” Miley gushed, “to now being able to put them out into the world.”
