Miley Cyrus calls 'Redlights' one of her all-time favourite records
Synopsis
Key Takeaways
Grammy-winning singer Miley Cyrus has revealed that 'Redlights' ranks among her all-time favourite releases, describing the track as a perfect blend of two musical extremes she holds dear: heartbreak and euphoria. The revelation came via an Instagram post on 19 September 2026, in which Cyrus shared a collection of images alongside a candid note to her fans.
What Cyrus Said About 'Redlights'
'REDLIGHTS is one of my favorite records I've released to date. It's got my favorite ingredients both heartbreaking and euphoric. Love being torn,' Cyrus wrote in the caption of her post. The statement positions the track as something of a personal milestone in a catalogue that already spans two decades of pop and rock output.
The Bigger Picture: 'Bass Persuades' Album
The 'Redlights' post is part of a broader wave of engagement Cyrus has been having with her fanbase around her new album 'Bass Persuades', which she opened up about on 18 September. Sharing behind-the-scenes moments from the album's creation on Instagram, she described the record as a reflection of the whirlwind pace of her professional life over the past two decades.
'This album happened fast but that's been my life for 20 years. Once I started wishing to land a role that would make LA my home it's been nonstop,' she wrote. She added that the project also captures a sense of peace she discovered after learning to slow down — a notable contrast to the high-velocity career that launched her as a teenager.
A Deeply Personal Record
On 17 September, Cyrus spoke about the deeply personal process behind 'Bass Persuades', noting that it feels meaningful to watch the album keep pace with the real-time evolution of her life. She thanked fans for celebrating its release and described the record as 'special' and a 'bliss' to share.
'This album is a reflection of everywhere I've been along the way and the peace that came with starting to slow it all down. Thank you for celebrating this release with me. It's a special record and it's bliss to share with you,' she wrote, also announcing the release of a music video titled 'Lets Get Married'.
Career Context
Cyrus began her music career with back-to-back US number-one pop rock albums — 'Meet Miley Cyrus' and 'Breakout' — before evolving into one of pop music's most restless experimenters. 'Bass Persuades' represents yet another chapter in that ongoing reinvention, and the reception to 'Redlights' suggests that fans and the artist herself feel it has landed as intended.
With the album now out and a music video dropping alongside it, attention will turn to whether 'Bass Persuades' can match the commercial heights of her earlier landmark releases.
