Miley Cyrus has released her new single “Beautiful That Way,” recorded for Gia Coppola’s film “The Last Showgirl.”
The song’s arrival comes shortly after its Golden Globe nomination for Best Original Song – Motion Picture, where it’s up against tracks from “Challengers,” “The Wild Robot,” “Emilia Pérez” and “Better Man.”
“Beautiful That Way” was written by Cyrus, Lykke Li and Andrew Wyatt, who also produced the track. “Andrew Wyatt is a longtime friend and musical genius,” says Cyrus. “I trusted his instincts for the film as he has devoted himself to finding the sound that supports this project. Lykke Li is a fabulous songwriter and had a great concept which made it simple to come in & make it me.”
“The Last Showgirl,” which was initially released in September, stars Pamela Anderson as a showgirl who has to figure out her next steps after her show closes. “Pamela is deeply embedded into my earliest memories with my mother,” adds Cyrus. “We both worshipped Pam and still do. I took the emotion I have towards those times with my mom and the few times we’ve gotten to spend with Pam. I thought a lot about what this film means to her not just as an actress but as the special person that she is. I celebrate evolution and she has done that in such a graceful way which is reflected in Last Showgirl.

“This song is devoted to the film and focused on the story Gia and Pam are telling,” she continues. “The lyrics really resonate with me personally but sonically this song is a love letter to their project.”
