Why Miley Cyrus released a sad Christmas song

Miley Cyrus has released a new single, “My Sad Christmas Song”. Shortly after the release there were reports she had split from her new love, Cody Simpson, who was photographed on Saturday spending time with a Playboy model.

But Cyrus wrote on Instagram that the new song was inspired by events around the holidays a few years ago.

“[I] was feeling like shit cause I couldn’t be with the one I loved. Even with a house full of family and friends I still felt alone,” the singer said. “In ways that still feels relevant and someone reading this right now could possibly relate!”

Cyrus acknowledged that the holidays can be a tough time for a lot of people and sent out an encouraging message to her fans.

“If you feel lonely this season just know YOU ARE COMPLETELY MADE OF MAGIC!” she said.

“You are as special as a snowflake, beautifully unique and I hope inside your soul feels light, hope, peace, and joy knowing how singularly amazing YOU are! Love always wins!”

If you feel lonely this season just know YOU ARE COMPLETELY MADE OF MAGIC! You are as special as a snowflake , beautifully unique and I hope inside your soul feels light, hope , peace , and joy knowing how singularly amazing YOU are! Love always wins! 🎄 PS @waynecoyne5 & @stevendrozd are so bad ass for helping me put this together so fuckin fast so I could share w my fans by Christmas! Recorded at my little garage studio in LA , I wrote the song driving there from Malibu! @vijatm is always the best at turning my crazy idea into reality and created this set up so I could shoot a cover the same night! @bradleykennetheyewear
