An Emotional Offering: Miley Cyrus and Fleetwood Mac Legends Collaborate on “Secrets”
On September 18, 2025, Miley Cyrus unveiled a deeply personal and emotionally resonant new single, “Secrets,” which serves as the lead track from the deluxe edition of her album, Something Beautiful.
The song is a truly monumental collaboration, featuring the legendary Lindsey Buckingham on guitar and harmonies and Mick Fleetwood on drums, a pairing that infuses the track with the nostalgic and emotionally rich sound of their iconic band, Fleetwood Mac.
The song is a heartfelt ballad that Cyrus wrote as a personal peace offering to her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, addressing themes of family reconciliation, forgiveness, and vulnerability.
The lyrics are a delicate blend of promises to keep the difficult truths of her loved ones and a mature longing for healing and renewed trust.
This musical olive branch follows a years-long estrangement and was released as a powerful tribute to their mended relationship.
The official music video, co-directed by Cyrus, features her in stunning Iris Van Herpen couture, a visual display of both her artistic evolution and the song’s emotional depth.
“Secrets” stands as a poignant and multi-generational collaboration, blending the raw, personal songwriting of Miley Cyrus with the legendary musicianship of Buckingham and Fleetwood.
Quotable Lyrics:
Secrets, I wanna keep your secrets
Like sunlight in the shadows
Like footsteps in the grass
I won’t ever break my promise
Like a songbird in the silence
Like stones against the glass
We’re chained to the rhythm
Hero
Can I be your hero?
Call off all your forces
A white flag in the war
Oh, I wanna be the one (I wanna be the one)
I wanna be the one (I wanna be the one)
Anywhere you run (Anywhere you run)
You know I’ll follow, whoa
Anywhere you go (Anywhere you go, you know I’ll follow)
Love is not a prison
I’m not a guard, no
So even when I’m holding you
I won’t lock you up
You can come and go as you want
Would you like to be lonely?
Your word is all I want (Want)
