The song is a pop ballad.u00a0

It's one of these songs that everyone is gonna to relate to, everyone's felt that feeling at some point," Cyrus told Z100 radio station in an interview. "If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination a little bit and see kind of what the video really means and the way that it is so vulnerable," Cyrus said.

"If you look in my eyes I look more sad than actually my voice sounds on the record. It was a lot harder to do the video than it was to even record the song. It was much more of an emotional experience."
