“Thousand Miles" is a Grammy nominated track on Miley Cyrus‘ eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation and it features Brandi Carlile. The country-pop track marks the first collaboration between the two artists. The track is a reflection on the end of a relationship.
"When I wrote “Thousand Miles,” it started as a song that was very different from the one that’s on the album. I wrote it in 2016 or 2017. And it was after one of my really close friends lost her sister to suicide. And I just couldn’t imagine not having my little sister in my life. And so, I wrote this song for her, and it was originally called “Happy Girl.” And it was, “I just wanna see you happy, and all I really want is just for you to be happy, girl.” And it was just about happiness and sisterhood and… It just makes me emotional because now the song is filled with so much joy in the music. And it’s become something so far from the sadness that inspired the song."—via Backyard Sessions
