She made headlines earlier this week with another attention-seeking display of flesh by going fully nude in her new hit video “Wrecking Ball”. But Miley Cyrus says her nudity actually has a deep and very personal message to communicate to her fans. The 20-year-old claims her overtly gratuitous display is symbolic of where she is in her life right now.

In a recent interview on The Elvis Duran and the Morning Show, on New York City’s Z100 radio station, the singer revealed that her nakedness in the short film is a metaphor for how vulnerable she feels inside.

Miley explained: “I think the video is much more, if people get past the point that I’m naked and you actually look at me.
“You can tell that I actually look more broken than even the song sounds.”

Adding: “The song is a pop ballad. It’s one of these songs that everyone is gonna to relate to, everyone’s felt that feeling at some point.”
In the video a nude Cyrus straddles a swinging wrecking ball, licks a sledgehammer and smashes up a few walls for good measure.

But Miley admitted that the provocative visuals may provide a challenge to viewers, who could write off the performance as merely lewd and attention-seeking.

“If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination a little bit and see kind of what the video really means and the way that it is so vulnerable,” Miley said.

And Miley, who is engaged to actor Liam Hemsworth, admitted she was incredibly nervous about exposing herself emotionally on camera: “If you look in my eyes I look more sad than actually my voice sounds on the record. It was a lot harder to do the video than it was to even record the song. It was much more of an emotional experience.”

Cyrus posted a link to the video on Monday with the hashtag “#WreckTheRecord” meaning she’s keen to break her own VEVO record of views in one day, and to reclaim her crown from One Direction.

“We Can’t Stop” video scored 10,7 but One Direction’s “Best Song Ever” clip accumulated 10,9 million glances in July.
And Miley achieved her goal as she blasted past her competition with 14 million views in a 24-hour period, successfully breaking the VEVO most-viewed in one day record.

The single “Wrecking Ball” is off of Cyrus’ upcoming album “Bangerz”, which will be released on October 8 and the album will reportedly feature a collaboration between Miley and Britney Spears.— Daily Mail.
