Miley Cyrus reflected on the 13th anniversary of ‘7 Things’ on Instagram and Twitter
Cyrus celebrated 13 years since “7 Things” on her Instagram and Twitter accounts. She shared clips from the music video, in which Cyrus and other teen girls expressed their feelings about breakups. Cyrus also showed a moment of her singing the lyrics to the song with Selena Gomez, who was rumored to have dated Nick Jonas after Cyrus did. The song “7 Things” is reportedly about Cyrus’ relationship with Jonas.
Cyrus also shared a blurb from her book “Miles To Go” in the swipe-through gallery on Instagram.
“I was angry when I wrote ‘7 Things,'” she expressed in the book. “I wanted to punish him, to get back at him for hurting me. It starts with a list of what I ‘hate.’ But I’m not a hater. My heart knew from the start that it was going to turn into a love song. Why does he get a love song? Because I don’t hate him.”
Cyrus continued: “I won’t let myself hate anybody. That’s not the way my heart works. It’s a song about how I should hate him, but I don’t, and I don’t know why. It’s about forgiving, not forgetting. Here’s what I feel: It’s hard to imagine that our love is a story with an end. But you know, at least I’m getting some good songs out of it.”
