Miley Cyrus has released an emotional new song, "Slide Away." On Thursday night (Aug. 15), the singer unveiled the track along with its provocative artwork, which features a collection of bottles of alcohol (one empty) and pills floating in water.
"Slide Away" appears to reflect the dramas in Cyrus' own life. On the track, she calls for a healthier, better life as she sings: "I want my house in the hills/ Don't want the whiskey and pills/ I don't give up easily."
The song, which features guitar over a snappy beat, is her first new material since "On A Roll," which she performed as her Black Mirror character Ashley O, and the She Is Coming EP released last May.
