Miley Cyrus Says 'Secrets' Made Billy Ray Cry as They Reconnect Through Music

She presented the track as a birthday peace offering that reopened their relationship through music.

Overview

  • In an Oct. 5 CBS Sunday Morning interview, Miley said her father cried when he heard “Secrets,” which she wrote about and for him.
  • She explained they "communicate better through song" and treat sharing music as their way to make peace rather than formal therapy.
  • Billy Ray responded hours later on Instagram, praising the gesture and writing that "one great song" can do more than "a million therapy sessions."
  • He also noted that members of Fleetwood Mac played on the track, with Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood credited on the recording.
  • Miley gifted the song for his Aug. 25 birthday and released it in September as part of her Something Beautiful project, describing their relationship as now at peace after a difficult period.
