Interesting facts and trivia about Midnight Sky. By Songfacts®.

This disco-tinged bop showcases a new direction for Miley Cyrus. The constantly evolving artist took inspiration from her time COVID-19 quarantining to create the environment she wants to live in. She details her message of freedom and empowerment on this track: The midnight sky is the road I'm takin' Head high up in the clouds Cyrus explained on LA's Zach Sang Show: "This song is really just a reflection of everyone kind of having this personal kind of woke moment, I feel like a lot of us are waking up. And you know, the midnight sky, I think is kind of a road that feels like it could be nice to take with our head up in the clouds."

Cyrus addresses some of her past relationships, including her split from Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. I don't need to be loved by you See my lips on her mouth, everybody's talkin' now, baby Ooh, you know it's true Seven months after the couple married in December 2018, Cyrus left fans shocked when she announced that they were calling it quits. The singer publicly acknowledged their split with a set of photos of her kissing reality star Kaitlynn Carter during a girls' holiday to Lake Como, Italy.

You should know right now that I never stay put in one place Forever and ever, no more Speaking to Sirius XM's the Morning Mash-Up, Cyrus explained that for her, the song is very much about the stigma of the breakdown of relationships. Noting she was considered a failure by some because her marriage didn't last, the free-spirited songstress said: "I think we're kind of set up for devastation - in that, from the time we're little kids, we're taught to claim other humans as our best friends forever. And you just don't know who you're going to be sitting with here right now. You never know who you're going to evolve to be and who they're going to evolve to be. So I think that we, especially as women in relationships, a lot of the time we can get villainized when 'forever' doesn't happen."
