River

“River” is the second single from Miley Cyrus' eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation. Miley shows passion and devotion to a significant other with some sexy lyrism over a funky, synth-pop beat. Following “Flowers'” promotional strategy, Miley announced the music video for the song through a teaser on March 7, 2023, three days before the album and music video dropped. “It was a time in my life where I was going through just a lot in my life emotionally and personally. And I guess all my songs kind of evolve, they could start as something that was a trouble, like it just feels like it’s an April Shower, it never stops raining, and then it started raining down like love. “River,” sometimes we just need a dance floor banger, AKA they don’t want me to talk about how the fact the song is about ***. It’s nasty.“ — Miley via Backyard Sessions Interview
