Miley Cyrus thinks love is "dynamic and complex".
The 33-year-old pop star - who is engaged to Liily drummer, Maxx Morando - considers love to be something that she can feel but struggles to rationalise.
Speaking to Wonderland Magazine about her new record, Miley explained: "This album is a love story, but love stories are never one-dimensional. They’re always layered.
"There is definitely a romantic thread weaving through it because, like all my records, it’s a reflection of where I am in my life. But this one feels especially meaningful because this feeling has stayed with me through multiple eras.
"That’s something I hadn’t really experienced before. A peaceful kind of love has become a theme across my last three records. Not just the love I share with someone else, but the love I’ve found for myself. That’s probably been the biggest evolution."
Miley explained that her new record reflects her personal evolution.
She said: "Once your relationship with yourself changes, every relationship around you changes too. I think this record celebrates both of those equally."
Miley - who was married to Liam Hemsworth between 2018 and 2020 - believes it's difficult to "intellectualise" love.
The pop star said: "Love is dynamic and complex.
"It’s something we can feel deeply with our heart even if we can’t always explain it with our minds. To me, love isn’t something we have to intellectualise. It’s a cellular understanding."
Miley loves being closely aligned with her own art.
The chart-topping star reflected: "I love feeling aligned with my purpose, my power, and my gifts. I feel closest to something bigger than myself when records flow through me.
"It’s almost impossible to describe. It’s like waking up from a dream you can still feel in your body even though you can’t fully explain it logically.
"Songwriting feels like crossing over to another side sometimes. A new song can feel like I’ve already heard it before. Even if it isn’t finished yet, I somehow know exactly what it is, almost like I’m remembering it instead of creating it. That’s the mystery I love."
