Miley Cyrus is back with a new hit.
The song is called “Used to Be Young,” and I see the PR machine has hyped up the idea that Cyrus wrote the catchy new hit.
But in reality, Cyrus went back to her “Flowers” hitmakers Michael Pollack and Gregory Hein. Top songwriter Greg Kurstin also contributed to “Used to Be Young.”
I’m sure the composers of “Used to Be Young” are less than amused that not a single press release or story about the song mentions them. They only wrote it!
“Used to Be Young” has the same cadence as “Flowers,” and it’s just as memorable. It’s all about getting back to simple melodies and hooks. Sony couldn’t break a follow up single to “Flowers” so they went with this instead.
“Flowers” is still on the charts, and will get a slew of Grammy noms. “Used to Be Young” could easily follow in its footsteps. Miley — who has a great voice — has found a formula that works!
