Miley Cyrus launched her new album One thing Stunning on Friday, and on the track “Each Woman You’ve Ever Beloved,” she seemingly throws shade at Dua Lipa.
The lyrics in query are as follows: “She speaks the right French/ She will be able to dance the night time away/ And nonetheless, she’ll by no means break a sweat.” Whereas, positive, these could possibly be about any girl that speaks French and may dance so much with out perspiring. However Dua Lipa checks all three containers; she will be able to converse French (definitely evidenced by her French-speaking cameo in Charli XCX’s current “Discuss Discuss” remix with Troye Sivan) and she will be able to positively dance the night time away (as acknowledged instantly in 2023’s “Dance the Evening” from the Barbie soundtrack).
The ultimate element—that she’ll by no means break a sweat—is a little more open to interpretation. It may be a nod to the viral “go lady give us nothing” meme from a couple of years again, which confirmed Lipa performing a fairly easy and repetitive dance transfer to her track “New Guidelines.” Alternatively, it could possibly be a refined callback to “Dance the Evening,” the place Lipa sings about remaining unfazed emotionally—right here, the “sweat” may symbolize vulnerability.
Then again, the phrase may be a honest praise to how effortlessly Lipa instructions the stage, particularly contrasted with Cyrus, who has overtly struggled with related expectations. Including one other layer, Lipa and Cyrus are rumored to have rigidity stemming from their 2020 collaboration on “Prisoner,” and so they haven’t labored collectively since.
Regardless of the case, it’s a curious reference. Maybe in “Each Woman You’ve Ever Beloved,” Cyrus isn’t a lot teasing Lipa as she is confronting her personal insecurities, measuring herself towards Lipa’s seemingly unshakable composure.
Cyrus is joined on “Each Woman You’ve Ever Beloved” by British mannequin Naomi Campbell for the track, who backs up Cyrus within the bridge. Campbell is only one of a number of company featured on One thing Stunning, which boasts contributions from producers Shawn Everett, BJ Burton, and Child Harpoon in addition to Ryan Tedder, Andrew Wyatt, Ryan Beatty, Brittany Howard, Alvvays’ Molly Rankin and Alec O’Hanely, Mannequin/Actriz’s Cole Haden, and extra.
