The song about her youth also corrects a crucial part of her persona.
Taylor Swift isn’t the only pop star currently reminiscing about her past. On Friday, Miley Cyrus shares her version of the “Eras Tour” with the release of “Used To Be Young,” a song about looking back and nostalgia that also carries a more significant message about her public persona.
The song begins with the singer looking back at her past while addressing a person from that time : “The truth is bulletproof/ There's no foolin' you/ I don't dress the same/ Me and who you say/ I was yesterday/ Have gone our separate ways.” It is nostalgic and tender, as she gazes back at her life like flipping through the pages of a photo album. There’s simultaneously sadness and joy, a dichotomy that Cyrus says was her intention while crafting the track. But as the song continues, the feeling that’s left behind beyond her neutral reflections, is a sense of peaceful and deep gratitude she has for her more riotous, youthful days.
