When Miley Cyrus released her ninth studio album Something Beautiful on May 30, 2025, the disco-infused Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved featuring supermodel Naomi Campbell immediately set the fan forums alight.
The official music video, dripping in high-fashion warehouse glamour, dropped on June 30, with a limited vinyl edition due out July 11.
Dolly’s Blessing & The Club Pulse
The song’s roots go back to a conversation with Miley’s godmother, Dolly Parton, who gave her full blessing for the title before the writing even began.
It’s fitting, here, Miley questions whether embodying every perfect woman her partner’s ever wanted is enough to break through the emotional distance.
Recorded at Bandrika Studios and The Village Recorder, Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved rides a disco groove that samples Soulwax’s remix of Marie Davidson’s Work It.
It’s a wink to club culture, the runway, and the feminist sweat beneath the glitter.
The track is co-written with Michael Pollack, Shawn Everett, Jonathan Rado, and more, with Naomi Campbell’s spoken word turning the bridge into a surreal catwalk confessional.
Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved Lyrics: A Deeper Dive
“I match my bag to my new dress / I’m still looking like a ten while my hair is a mess”
She opens with a self-aware wink: the meticulous styling vs. the messy hair.
It’s Miley at her most iconically contradictory presenting confidence while showing the flaws that make her real.
“No, I can’t believe that you’re still holdin’ out on me / And I’m gonna work it all night / ‘Til I get what I want”
Her voice here is part brash, part bruised. She’s calling out a lover who keeps a distance, even as she shapeshifts to please them.
The line about working it all night doubles as both bedroom bravado and a nod to the relentless hustle for approval.
“Aren’t I pretty enough for more than fun in the dark? / Why’re you still holdin’ onto your heart?”
One of the song’s rawest moments. Miley strips away the pose and asks like a kid: is she only good for the shadows, or could she be the one?
It lands with the same ache she tapped into back in her Plastic Hearts era.
“Looking for the one but one is never enough / I’m every girl you’ve ever loved / I’m a little bit angel, I’m a little bit not”
This is the thesis statement. She’s an angel and a temptress, something real but also a fantasy.
It’s a classic Miley line: brash, layered with contradiction, and painfully aware of how impossible the ‘dream girl’ role really is.
Naomi’s spoken word:
“She has the perfect house / She speaks the perfect French / She never wears a watch, still she’s never late…”
Naomi’s lines read like a catalogue of impossible standards. The “perfect French” has fans speculating whether it’s shade at Dua Lipa’s bilingual flex in “Dance the Night” — a theory that refuses to die.
The Botticelli nod (“Did Botticelli paint her face?”) crowns the fantasy: she’s timeless, an oil painting come to life, while Miley’s stuck performing next to her.
“She can dance the night away and still she’ll never break a sweat / Pose”
This echoes voguing culture — ‘pose’ is a command to hold the mask, no matter what you feel inside.
One fan on YouTube said the moment “hits like a Vogue-off for your insecurities.”
“Like a dog in the street, oh”
The mask cracks. Here she is — out in the cold, chasing someone who still won’t open the door.
The glam club beat doesn’t cushion the line; it cuts through it.
“I’m every girl you’ve ever loved” (repeated)
What starts as a statement of power ends as a plea. If she’s every woman you want, then why is she still left dancing alone?
The repetition is part spell, part resignation.
Disco Layers & Orchestral Punch
Musically, critics have called the song disco, but that undersells its layers.
The orchestral hits, the booming sax, the Soulwax sample: it’s a hybrid of ‘80s runway strut and ‘90s club sweat.
NME compared its swirl of synths to Coldplay’s more cinematic ballads with Naomi’s icy monologue landing like a Pet Shop Boys cameo.
The vibe? Equal parts party anthem and confession booth.
Visual Storytelling: Warehouse Shadows and Runway Poses
The accompanying video teaser, released June 29, showcases Cyrus and Campbell performing in a fog-enshrouded warehouse with dramatic lighting and giant industrial fans.
Cyrus appears in an all-black ensemble complete with mesh gloves, while Campbell delivers her “pose, pose, pose” exhortations with characteristic supermodel authority.
The visual recalls Madonna’s Vogue video and even hints at the “dream girl” as a concept that will always be just out of reach.
If the club is a mirror, Miley’s reflections here are cracked, glamorous, and uncomfortably real.
Is It Really About Dua Lipa?
Let’s talk shade. The “perfect French” and “never break a sweat” lines sparked a Reddit frenzy, with some fans convinced this is Miley’s final word on her creative tension with Dua Lipa.
Their “Prisoner” era and the Barbie soundtrack moment make the shoe fit, though Miley, as always, leaves you to decode it for yourself.
So Which Version of You Hits the Dance Floor?
In Every Girl You’ve Ever Loved, Miley Cyrus asks a question that outlives the sax: does becoming every fantasy you’ve ever loved make you more lovable or more alone?
It’s all poses, glitter, and beats until the lights come up. Then what?
So when the chorus loops, maybe it’s worth asking: which version of yourself are you dancing with tonight?
