What You'll Learn
'WTF Do I Know' lyrics
"WTF Do I Know" is the opening track from American singer Miley Cyrus' seventh studio album, "Plastic Hearts", which was released on November 27, 2020. The song's lyrics play with the artist's scandalous persona and the perception of her by the media, her former husband Liam Hemsworth, and his family. The song also reflects on her freedom from them.
The song begins with Cyrus singing about her frustration and her intention to express something that the subject might not know:
> I'm not tryna have another conversation
> Probably not gon' wanna play me on your station
> Pourin' out a bottle full of my frustration
> Here to tell you somethin' that you don't know
In the next lines, she sings about her rebellious nature and not conforming to societal norms, even if it's just to cause a distraction:
> I'm the type to drive a pickup through your mansion
> I'm completely naked, but I'm makin' it fashion
> Maybe gettin' married just to cause a distraction
> Here to tell you somethin' that you don't know
The pre-chorus reflects on moving on from a past relationship and not missing the other person:
> Am I wrong that I moved on and I
> And I don't even miss you?
> Thought that it'd be you until I die
> But I let go
The chorus emphasizes the singer's confusion, loneliness, and realization that she couldn't be the hero in the relationship:
> What the fuck do I know?
> I'm alone
> 'Cause I couldn't be somebody's hero
> You want an apology? Not from me
> Had to leave you in your own misery
> So tell me, baby, am I wrong that I moved on?
> And I, and I don't even miss you
> Thought that it'd be you until I die
> But I let go, what the fuck do I know?
The second verse of the song continues with the theme of moving on and finding clarity:
> Tryin' to see the stars through the new pollution
> Think that I'm the problem?
> Honey, I'm the solution
> Maybe all the chaos is for your amusement
> Here to tell you somethin' that you don't know
The song "WTF Do I Know" is speculated to be directed towards Cyrus' ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, with whom she had a highly publicized relationship. Fans interpreted the lyrics as Cyrus taking digs at Hemsworth and their short-lived marriage.

''Angels Like You' lyrics
"Angels Like You" is the third track and single on American singer Miley Cyrus' seventh studio album, "Plastic Hearts", which was released on November 27, 2020, by RCA Records. The song's personal nature has led many to believe it is about Cyrus' ex-girlfriend, Kaitlynn Carter, whom she dated for a month in 2019. However, fans also speculate that the song is directed at her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, whom she separated from in August 2019, with some interpreting the lyrics as a dig at Hemsworth.
The lyrics to "Angels Like You" are filled with emotion and appear to be about a wedding and the singer being unhappy because she knew the person she was with wasn't right for her. The song conveys the sentiment of being a free spirit who couldn't be what someone needed her to be. The chorus includes the lines:
> "You're gonna wish we never met on the day I leave / I brought you down to your knees / 'Cause they say that misery loves company / It's not your fault / I ruin everything / And it's not your fault / I can't be what you need / Baby, angels like you can't fly down hell with me."
In an interview with Zane Lowe for Apple Music, Cyrus commented on the song's personal nature, saying:
> "At first listen, you go like: 'Man, she's really putting it out there.' Like I know, 'You're gonna wish we never met on the day I leave.' You're gonna think I'm cold-blooded, but then it's like 'It's not your fault.' This song is saying – there is like some remorse to it – all these things should add up on paper to 'You're the one for me', but I know that you're wrong for me."
"Angels Like You" was co-written by Ryan Tedder of OneRepublic. The song was leaked twice during 2020, with two different versions of the track being released.

'Never Be Me' lyrics
Fans have speculated that the song "Never Be Me" from Miley Cyrus' seventh studio album "Plastic Hearts" is about her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth. The couple dated on and off for nearly a decade before marrying in December 2018 and separating eight months later in August 2019.
"Plastic Hearts" marked a departure from Cyrus' previous musical styles, showcasing a blend of rock, pop, synth-pop, and glam rock, with influences from various genres. The album received positive reviews, with critics praising Cyrus' newfound independence and passion.
"Never Be Me," the eleventh track on the album, is a ballad comparable to those of the 1980s, featuring a bubbling synth pulse. In the song, Cyrus lays out what she will and won't do in new relationships. She sings, "If you're looking for stable, that'll never be me / If you're looking for faithful, that'll never be me / If you're looking for someone to be all that you need / That'll never be me." These lyrics suggest a relationship that isn't the right fit, with Cyrus acknowledging her limitations and the areas where she might fall short as a partner.
Later in the song, Cyrus continues, "If you think that I'm someone to give up and leave, that'll never be me," indicating her commitment and willingness to stay in the relationship despite any challenges. This particular line adds a layer of complexity to the interpretation of the song, as it could be seen as a direct response to the reasons behind her divorce from Hemsworth.
While Cyrus has not explicitly confirmed that "Never Be Me" is about Hemsworth, the timing of the album's release and the personal nature of the lyrics have fueled fan speculation. "Plastic Hearts" was released in November 2020, following Cyrus' separation from Hemsworth in August 2019. The album was described by Cyrus herself as a "continuation of her autobiography", suggesting that the songs were influenced by her personal experiences.

Cyrus' divorce from Liam Hemsworth
Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth first met in 2009 on the set of the Nicholas Sparks movie, The Last Song. They dated on and off for nearly a decade before marrying in December 2018. However, just eight months later, in August 2019, the couple announced their separation. Hemsworth filed for divorce just eight days after reports that Cyrus was not rushing to end their marriage. Their divorce was finalised in January 2020.
The divorce process was accelerated due to the absence of "community property assets or liabilities" during their marriage, and neither party sought spousal support. Despite the swift legal process, sources claimed that "the divorce was marked by significant bitterness on both sides". However, by the time the former couple attended the same pre-Oscars party in February 2020, the tension had seemingly subsided, as a source reported that "it wasn't a big deal, and they didn't even speak".
Following her separation from Hemsworth, Cyrus continued work on her seventh studio album, Plastic Hearts, which was released in November 2020. Fans speculated that several songs on the album referenced her relationship with Hemsworth, including "WTF Do I Know?", "Angels Like You", "Hate Me", and "Never Be Me". In "WTF Do I Know?", Cyrus sings about getting married "just to cause a distraction", which many interpreted as a dig at her ex-husband. On "Angels Like You", she sings a sombre melody about being unhappy in a relationship and knowing that the person she was with wasn't right for her.

Cyrus' new musical direction
Plastic Hearts, the seventh studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus, marks a departure from her previous releases. The album is primarily a rock, pop, synth-pop, and glam rock record, with influences from country, punk rock, new wave, arena rock, industrial, disco, and power pop.
Cyrus has long worn her influences on her sleeve, duetting with everyone from Joan Jett to her godmother, Dolly Parton, and covering musicians from every genre. She has long revered rock greats, from '60s giants like the Beatles and the Velvet Underground to the punk and glam rockers of the 70s and 80s. With Plastic Hearts, Cyrus takes clearer ownership of those influences.
The album features guest vocals from Dua Lipa, Billy Idol, Joan Jett, and Stevie Nicks, and was produced by Andrew Watt and Louis Bell, with further collaboration from Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt.
Plastic Hearts received positive reviews from music critics, with Elly Watson of DIY praising Cyrus' new musical direction, saying, "Overall, Miley's seventh era seems to be the one that suits her best". Bella Fleming of The Line of Best Fit also praised the album, saying, "with Plastic Hearts, comes a wonderful album about life as a fiercely independent woman".
The album was originally set to be released in 2019 under the title She Is Miley Cyrus. However, Cyrus' divorce from Liam Hemsworth, vocal cord surgery, the passing of her grandmother, and the COVID-19 pandemic caused significant delays.
