Miley Cyrus has officially released the deluxe edition of her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful. The expanded version features two new tracks: "Secrets," a collaboration with Fleetwood Mac legends Mick Fleetwood and Lindsey Buckingham, and "Lockdown," a 13-minute experimental piece with David Byrne of Talking Heads.

The release was quick to set social media buzzing. Fans quickly compared Miley Cyrus’ strategy to Taylor Swift’s re-recordings, commenting:

"She is speedrunning Taylor Swift's re-record strategy 😂😂"

Miley Cyrus first released the standard edition of Something Beautiful in late May 2025. The album was her ninth full-length record, following 2023's Endless Summer Vacation. It included contributions from Brittany Howard, Naomi Campbell, and indie musicians like Cole Haden of Model/Actriz, Molly Rankin and Alec O'Hanley of Alvvays, and Adam Granduciel of The War on Drugs.

Cyrus took to her official Instagram to pen an emotional note about Secrets, the new song from her latest deluxe edition:

"This song was written as a peace offering for someone I had lost for a time but always loved. In my experience, forgiveness and freedom are one and the same. Thank you to Lindsey Buckingham & Mick Fleetwood for bringing magic to the music. This song is for my dad."
