Miley Cyrus stripped down to just her lingerie in the recently released music video for her catchy new single Bass Persuades.
On Thursday night, the 33-year-old singer-songwriter dropped a raunchy video for the new single from her upcoming album of the same name.
The scantily clad star strolled through a dimly lit dive bar before hitting the streets with a group of partygoers to dance the night away. In front of a group of backup dancers, Cyrus danced under the moonlight and neon lights.
In the lyrics of her new song, she urged her younger fans to put away their phones and hit the dance floor, declaring that “the kids don’t want to dance” and trying to convince them to “surrender to the night.”
Her ’80s-inspired song features lyrics that express a longing for an analog era of decades past, highlighting how many people are “glued” to their screens and distracted from life outside their phones.
The release follows on the heels of the star promising she would write a song in honor of her late godmother, Dolly Parton, as she paid tribute to the beloved music legend following her death last week.

Alongside news of her upcoming album and a series of Hollywood Bowl shows to follow, the Grammy winner released the short video after changing her pop star persona and dropping her last name to professionally go by just “Miley.”
Her new jingle was nostalgic, reminiscent of some of the biggest hits from fellow pop icons like Lady Gaga, Britney Spears and Madonna.

And when she released her music video this week, she also made a big change to her name by dropping her last name and capitalizing all the letters of her first name.

“Thank you for being part of making my wildest dreams come true. I sincerely hope you like this album,” she added before signing off as “Miley.”

This comes after the father-daughter duo reconciled their relationship following a brief estrangement amid an ongoing family feud between the patriarch and some of the Hannah Montana actress’ siblings.
He shared his thoughts on the change in a lengthy Instagram post shared Thursday.
He posted a photo of just two of his children, Miley and his 32-year-old son Braison Cyrus, both of whom he shares with his ex-wife Tish Cyrus.
‘Family means more now than ever. I always called my little girl Miley. Just… Miley. Just like I used to name my son Braison,” the country crooner began before revealing that he recently had a conversation with his daughter about her dropping her last name.
“I told Miley yesterday that I had a good feeling about her using her first name,” he said before referencing the late and beloved legend Dolly Parton.
“I mentioned Dolly and Cher. I’m thinking about it more and more…Elvis…Prince…etc,” he wrote.
Becoming known by a unique name, he said, is “a natural progression for an iconic superstar legend.” And the legend continues! I’m looking forward to the new album.’

Has Miley’s provocative style gone too far or is she just pushing creative boundaries?
In his caption, he also noted that he once went by just one name before becoming known for his three-name nickname.
“You probably didn’t know I was just CYRUS before Achy Breaky Heart came in.” [1992]. All my swags and T-shirts just say CYRUS SOME GAVE ALL with a picture of a POW MIA [prisoner of war missing in action] flag on it, that and the words… ‘You are not forgotten.’
He concluded his message by once again mentioning his own name change: ‘Now…if only Mercury/Polygram hadn’t insisted on the “Billy Ray” part and just let me be CYRUS……I could have done something!!! Hahaha!!! Everthing okay.’
The pop star, now only known as ‘Miley’, will soon drop her new album, Bass Persuades, on September 18.
The following month, she will perform two shows at the Hollywood Bowl in Los Angeles on October 16 and 18, along with special guest MODEL/ACTRIZ.
Her upcoming concerts mark her return to the stage since her last major performance at the Corona Capital music festival in Mexico City in 2022.
