Miley Cyrus Marks 20 Years Of Hannah Montana With New Single “Younger You”

Before the public knew her as Miley Cyrus, she was Hannah Montana — a fake pop star that then became a very big, real pop star. This week, Cyrus is celebrating her roots — the wig where it all began. She put together a TV special that featured both of her parents, an interview with Call Her Daddy hostess Alex Cooper, and even a special appearance from Chappell Roan. She also released a new single called "Younger You."

"Younger You" is a touching acoustic ballad about staying connected to a past version of yourself. It's easy to forget where we came from. Cyrus advocates for staying close to that inner child: "Somewhere along the way we lost touch/ We used to be so happy just because I know you had to go eventually/ But don't forget about me."

Last night, Cyrus also accepted the Innovator award at iHeartRadio Music Awards. "My double denim and gold scarf thank you because they've been waiting over a decade to leave the house," She said in her acceptance speech. "Hannah Montana inspired me so much in my own career. I fell in love with the idea that you can create a persona that gives you the confidence and the courage to perform authentically. And that sometimes the fake you can actually reveal the real you."
