Miley Cyrus has reflected on growing up in the spotlight through her music, sharing personal anecdotes in her songs. However, Dolly Parton, Cyrus’ godmother, believes one of Cyrus’ more vulnerable tracks would have been better suited for her own voice.

Miley Cyrus scored her 12th top 10 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with "Used to Be Young," which was released in August 2023 as part of the digital reissue of her eighth studio album "Endless Summer Vacation.

Dolly Parton was apparently not a fan of Miley Cyrus' 2023 single "Used To Be Young" when it was first released, according to Cyrus.
