Miley Cyrus References Breakup<br />in New Single ‘Slide Away’ .<br />On Aug. 16, Miley Cyrus dropped a new single, “Slide Away,”<br />which seems to be about her recent split from Liam Hemsworth.<br />In the song, Cyrus hints at the turmoil<br />of their relationship, repeatedly<br />singing that “it’s time to let it go.” .<br />Once upon a time, it was paradise / Once upon<br />a time, I was paralyzed / Think I'm gonna<br />miss these harbor lights / But it's time to let<br />it go / Once upon a time, it was made for<br />us / Woke up one day, it had turned to dust, Miley Cyrus, "Slide Away".<br />Cyrus also references her age<br />when they first began dating in<br />2010, singing “we’re not 17,<br />I’m not who I used to be.”.<br />The track then goes on to seemingly confirm<br />recent insider reports that Hemsworth’s heavy<br />use of substances is to blame for the pair’s split. .<br />I want my house in the hills / Don't want<br />the whiskey and pills / I don’t give up<br />easily / But I don't think I'm down, Miley Cyrus, "Slide Away".<br />Throughout the song, Cyrus repeatedly urges<br />her ex to “slide away / back to the ocean,”<br />while she will “go back to the city lights.” .<br />This further ties Hemsworth to the song, as<br />his love of the ocean and beach is well-known,<br />while Miley is known for her love of the city.
