Miley Cyrus sparks speculation with new song ‘Innocent Ways’

Miley Cyrus has released a new song titled ‘Innocent Ways’ as part of her album ‘Bass Persuades,’ sparking speculation that the track is inspired by her relationship with her younger sister, Noah Cyrus.

The lyrics describe a sister experiencing crises, calling late at night while high, and struggling with the pressures of life. Miley sings about attempting to save her sister’s ‘innocent ways’ and notes that ‘grace comes with age.’ The song also touches on themes of regret regarding a sent letter and concerns over unanswered phone calls.

While the lyrics suggest a strained or concerned dynamic, Miley Cyrus has not explicitly confirmed that Noah is the subject of the song. In an interview with Apple Music, she discussed the meaning behind the line ‘grace comes with age,’ explaining that it is difficult to convey to young people that certain understandings only come with time.
