Golden G String was written by Miley and Andrew Wyatt and produced by Wyatt and Emile Haynie. Like Bad Karma (which I forgot to mention in the write-up) this was originally meant to be part of SHE IS MILEY CYRUS which is the album Miley was going to release in 2019 before everything changed. It was seen on the white board of song titles that Miley posted on an Instagram story. It then ended up leaking in low quality, with the intro and first line missing sometime in 2020, before finally being released as the offcial closing track of Plastic Hearts on November 27, 2020. Another fun fact: it was either originally titled I Think I'll Stay, or that's the title it leaked under.

Once again, Miley serves an amazing closer for an album. I remember when that white board was posted and we saw the title, people expected it to be another bop type of a song ala Mother's Daughter or Unholy (or Cattitude ddd). Naturally, Miley subverted our expectations by giving us a gorgeously produced, mostly wonderfully written ballad that reflects on her life, career and the world. The second verse is honestly one of the best things Miley has ever written. It basically sums up the entirety of her career from 2013-2020. Her acknowledging that she was trying to own her sexuality and was fighting against this idea that she shouldn't do that while dealing with the shame she felt for whatever reason, and revealing that she's still trying to work it out is just absolutely beautiful. And the chorus really hits too, especially the second half. Her telling people to look around when they call her crazy is obvious but she has a point. Hollywood/the music industry is a crazy place, and it happens in a crazy country. Her feeling like she should walk away from it but deciding that she's going to stay anyway is just...I honestly get really emotional when I listen to it. The lyrics throughout are mostly wonderful but those are my favorites. Her voice obviously sounds amazing, I think it's one of my favorite vocals from her on record if I'm being honest. And I love the production. I love the way it builds, I love the slight fuzziness to it and I love how it kind of feels like a watery dream. I absolutely love the piano line that opens the song and runs throughout. It really sets the tone for the rest of the track. The muffled drums that come in at the second chorus give the song a nice swaying feel to it that adds to the dream like quality. And the strings make it feel like the epic closer that it is. This is a beautiful song and it's her best closer and it deserved top 30 AT LEAST but y'all clearly aren't ready for that conversation.

I feel like I'm usually on @boombazookajoe's (5.5) side in this rate. Not always, but usually. This is not one of those times: What the hell is this nonsense? Read the above and then tell me this is nonsense. You'll still be wrong but at least you'll know why. @M24 (7.5) uses one of my favorite "c" words: It's such a charming song. The melody is beautiful and again the lyrics are quite poignant, especially for a song with this title ddd. Charming is the perfect word to describe this. @spaceship (10) is absolutely correct: The lyrics on this one really touched me and the production is immaculate. A perfect closer Yes. Just yes. And finally, @Butterfly (10) recognizes the difference between this and previous songs in it's vein: I’m always here for pop songs that look at fame and the expression of female sexuality (& the judgement that comes with that). It’s a less cheeky rebuke of sexism than the Human Nature’s & Still Dirrrty’s of the world, but I think there’s something beautiful about the earnestness. Yes, the earnestness definitely adds a different layer then songs like the ones you mentioned, not that this is any better than those of course.

I Forgive Yiew was written by Miley and Sam Hook and produced by Mike WiLL Made-It, Ryder Ripps, Jon Baken and Josh Knapp. It was released as track 13 of Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz on August 30, 2015.

I've always wanted to like this one more then I do, but it's one of my least favorite songs on the album. It's a fun song for sure, and the verse and the bridge are great, and the outro is beautiful but the chorus just kinda...I don't like it. I don't like the chorus. It annoys the shit out of me. And the fact that the song opens with it really hurts it in my opinion. It makes me not want to listen to the song. Other then that I love how chaotic and messy the production is. It's so busy and kind of disorienting in that busy-ness, which makes it an interesting song to listen to with headphones. Being able to hear all the details and not focusing on anything else is kind of dizzying, which I kind of enjoy. I actually think the outro is my favorite part though. It's so beautiful. That's pretty much all I have to say about this ddd.

Not much from any of you either. I'm not sure what @M24 (5) was hearing though: It's among the most straightforward songs in the album, isn't it? Quite repetitive and short. Unfortunately it doesn't really stand out much in spite of being accessible. Straightforward isn't really how I'd describe this. Or accessible to be honest ddd. And @Maki (7) incorrectly uses that "c" word I mentioned: There's a certain 60's tune in the chorus which makes it charming. It's among the weaker songs from this album, though I still find it likeable. You say charming, I say grating nn. Also, I just love how two of our commenters called it a weaker song from the album, and it still managed to place in the top 10 from it. Last but not least, @boombazookajoe (8.5) is feeling like he missed out: Sad I've never screamed this at a concert in a sea of sweaty half naked strangers. That would have been an experience.

I kind of agree with this? I don't understand how Cyrus Skies could go before Slab of Butter, Twinkle Song or even I Forgive Yiew. That's so random to me.

Except for those three and Zombie, I think all in all it's a strong top 50.

Quoting my last post... I got 3 out of the 4 I wanted! Pablow was the wrong elimination though.

And Zombie is, sadly, still way overdue. Please let it be next. I'm manifesting it...

Party Up The Street was written by Miley, Andrew Wyatt, Khalif Malik Ibn Shaman Brown, Asheton Hogan and Michael Williams II, and was produced by Mike WiLL Made-It and Pluss. It was released on May 31, 2019 as track 5 of SHE IS COMING.

I'm honestly surprised this is out already? It got a lot of praise when the EP was initally released, and it's not hard to hear why. It's a smooth, sensual song that manages to find a certain energy between absolute bop and moody vibe and rides that wave the entire time. It's melodies are catchy and it's production is peaceful, danceable and extremely interesting. There's also a certain element of beauty to the song thanks to the waves that are present throughout as well as the strings that come in. They add to the late night, peaceful beach party vibe of it all. I love all the different beats elements throughout the song and I wish I had the ability to talk about them in depth. They just make me sway and nod my head and move my feet all at the same time. I honestly would love to hear this song and dance to it in the right kind of setting. The outro just ends it all on the most perfect note. Seriously, the proudction is just so wonderful throughout the song. Another great element to the song is Swae Lee himself. He adds so much and actually eleveates it with his voice, which is a complimentary contrast to Miley's if that even makes sense. Honestly just a wonderful duet between the two of them. I really should have given this a 10, I have no idea why I didn't.

Quite a few of y'all actually had something to say about the song. @spaceship (6) might actually be wrong: I think this is a kinda overrated. I got bored from it quite fast. I'm sure you're going to be okay with a #45 placement then! @Ana Raquel (7) got confused when rating: I had to mute the song at some point because I thought there was a sound coming from one of my 7342899324827389 tabs, but it ended up being from the song itself fffff It's unhealthy to have that many tabs open dddd. @M24 (7) prefers Swae here: Swae Lee is really good here. I love his tone. Miley's parts actually don't reach the same highs, so I don't give this too high a score. I still bop though. I resepctfully disagree, and sorry about the disappointment you're going to feel. @Maki (7.25) is the opposite: The best I can describe this song is: a vibe. I don't like Swae Lee's 'boy hits puberty' voice, but the song is definitely good, though gets a bit too repetitive. The production is great in general, but my favourite part about it is the Timbaland-esque vocals that make up the beat. Nah, they add to the vibe. I do love that element of the production as well. Lastly, @boombazookajoe (10) and I have similar feelings about songs like this: Follows the similar dreamy soundscape of D.R.E.A.M. The biggest shocker of this track is how much I adore it when it usually annoys the hell out of me when a lead artist doesn't show up on their own track for half the song. I also usually get annoyed when that happens, but it works so well here. And the fact that Cattitude is placed between the two songs when they go so well together...worms to be honest.




A couple other Swae collabs from 2019 I like or love:

Favorite Lyric: Sing about peace. Being high and free. So if you don't give a fuck, sing along with me (This feels almost like a mission statement for the album. Miley's inviting us all to join her in relaxing and feeling peaceful while we listen to what she has to say. And I love that.)

Dooo It! was written by Miley, Wayne Coyne, Steven Drozd and Dennis Coyne. It was produced by Miley, The Flaming Lips, Dennis Coyne and Dave Fridmann. A surprise performance of it closed the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards, which Miley hosted on August 30. After the performance, she announced Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, which was released the same night with this as track 1. This leaving means "Karen Don't Be Sad" is the highest ranked song with this team of writers and producers, which: taste.

Y'all...the fact that this isn't even top 40...I'm so disappointed. Without those 3s, this still would have only placed at #27, which is definitely a lot better, but too many of you where just kinda "eh" about the song, preventing it from getting any higher. Still, there are at least 8 of us who love it! I have to say, this is such a weird song to start the album with. I feel like it sets expectations for what's to come that Miley pretty much immediately destroys with track 2. Sure, there are other weird songs to come on the album both musically and lyrically, but I feel like this is the one that's the most...aggressive and in your face with it's chaotic weirdness. The mood is set immediately with Miley's "Yeah I smoke pot. Yeah I love peace. But I don't give a fuck. I ain't no hippie." and the production that comes in after the repeat of that. The electronic, psychedelic beat bounces with a rhythm that makes you want to move, and it keeps it up throughout most of the song, even while adding elemets like the synths that come in after the chorus. This general vibe is kept up through about half the song, even if it gets a little weird with the electronics and beats in the first verse. The guitar that comes in at the end of the first verse is a groovy addition which I love that only lasts less than 10 seconds because a siren comes in and stops the song in it's tracks with a weird buzzing synth. Then the song somehow feels a little more peaceful right after that as Miley sings about feeling like she's one with the universe. It calms down a little, before getting back into the same vibe of the first half, with some additions in places - and organ, handclaps. It gets a little more chaotic with the handclaps and beats, as Miley dives into the third verse with more agressive vocals, reminiscent of the chorus, building to the breakdown, where after three gunshots (coinciding with the "bullets in their guns" lyric naturally) the song goes off the rails with hard industrial drums that come pretty much out of nowehere, but keep that same bouncy beat that the song has, which is what the song ends with musically. The lyrics - mostly consisting of Miley asking a lot of questions about the world, but also about how at peace she is, and how she understands some of these things and how important love is - reflect this mix of peace and chaos the production has. She's asking about stuff that happens in the world and why it does or what it is and that lack of understanding feels chaotic. But at the same time, the repeated idea of "I understand" implies that she does in fact understand some of this at least, and that gives her a sense of peace. It's honestly a wonderful combination of lyrics and production and I love it. I didn't always so I can understand where some of you are coming from. But when the song clicked and became the big, wonderful, weird ass bop I think it is, I never looked back and I absolutely love it now. It's one of the few songs on the album where Miley doesn't sing about herself for the most part, but it still manages to set up some ideas and themes the album explores. Which is why it works as the opener. And I love it.

Let me get the worst opinion out the way. @boombazookajoe (3) is just wrong: I was expected to hate this album based on this song. Thankfully, it's the worst thing on here by a long shot. First of all, there is no "worst song" on Dead Petz but if there is, it's Tangerine. Second of all, I am glad we collectively did not agree with this and that it ranked in the top 10 of songs from the album. @M24 (5.5) has a lot of thoughts: Her worst lead single, for sure. I'd give it a lower score if it weren't for the fact that I quite like the instrumentation in the "feel like I am one with the universe" part. The "yeah I smoke pot, yeah I love peace" part however is quite lazy and sort of ruins the song for me. Also, what's so bad about being a hippie? And how does she go from questioning the sun's existence, to ignoring its light on The Floyd Song, to vowing to protect it in 1 Sun? I count on our host to enlighten me on the theme of this album. Before I finish my diatribe, I gotta say…that MV is among the worst MVs I've ever watched. It was disgusting to be honest, and it took me an effort to finish it. Dead Petz visuals were totally misguided, in my view. And I hate that Youtube doesn't age-restrict pot-smoking, whereas a lot of lgbt-content is, although that's obviously not Miley's fault. 1.) Techncially not a lead single. There were no singles released from Dead Petz because nothing from the album was sent to radio. 2.) Nothing is "wrong" with it, people were just calling Miley a hippie to make fun of her. 3.) Technically, she doesn't question it's existance. She asks why it does, not if. Also there's and "I understand" before that line so it's possible she's saying she understands why it does exist. She wants to ignore it's light because she doesn't understand how it can be so bright when she felt so sad because of her dog's death. And she wants to protect it in 1 Sun because she cares about the environment and what the song provides the world with. But overall, Miley is a walking contradiction because she is human and that will come through in her writing. 4.) The music video is hot mess and should only be watched one if at all, but the video version of the song should have been released because banger. 5.) That's interesting and I think might be a country specific thing for you? Because the U.S. YouTube doesn't age restrict pop or LGBTQ+ content as far as I know? Or maybe YouTube knows I'm an adult or I have age restrictions off or something. Oof that was a long reply, moving on! Like me, @Butterfly (8) needed to give the song time: I’ll admit to hating this one when it came out. Combined with the music video, it felt like the soundtrack for her shock value game just completely failing. But actually, the song itself isn’t half bad when removed from that and given a chance. Yeah the video is just...blech. Definitely turned me off the song as well. And last but not least, @Maki (9) represents us stans: What a bonkers opener to this immensely understated and excellent album. The production is batshit crazy in the best possibly way and the switches are all amazing. Exactly. Hope the rest of y'all sound off in the thread!
