VIDEO: Miley Cyrus says dance track is for abused women

Thanks to the new album Can’t be Tamed, her determination to show a more mature side of Miley, and a couple of notorious tweets from Perez Hilton, Miley Cyrus has been omnipresent in the media of late.  In the midst of her everywhereness Miley spoke with MTV News about her new album and how the songs on the record are all about empowering and encouraging women.

Cyrus, who is attempting to distance herself from her teen persona Hannah Montana, said about Tamed:

“I think ‘Tamed’ does it the best, and ‘Liberty Walk,’ ” she told MTV News. “It’s just about freeing yourself from anything you think is holding you back. And I think that’s really important, especially for girls, because so many people are told, ‘No, you can’t do something,’ or, ‘You need to be this because Mom and Dad say that, teachers say this.’ “

Here is the video of the interview with the 17-year-old pop star as she riffs about the new record, in particular the song “Liberty Walk.”

The opening song off of Tamed, “Liberty Walk”, is a dance track – party song infused with a serious message.  She said:

“I wrote it for women that feel like they’re stuck in abusive relationships, but it’s a dance song,” she said. “So you think that must be kind of a sad ballad, but it’s a party song. … It’s about breaking free.”

See what you think about the track and Miley’s new adult sound.  Here is “Liberty Walk” followed by complete lyrics.

Miley Cyrus – “Liberty Walk” Music and Lyrics:

Don’t live a lie, this is your one life ooh
Don’t live it like you won’t get lost
Just walk just walk

It’s a liberty walk, it’s a liberty walk
It’s a liberty, liberty, liberty
It’s a liberty walk, it’s a liberty walk
It’s a liberty, liberty, liberty

Here’s to all the boys tryin to hold you back
Tryin to make you fell like your less than that
Got nothing more better than to make you crack
But really just tryin to put your dreams off track
And you know in the end it’ll be okay
Cause all that really matters are the steps you take
And everything else falls into place
There’s no price to pay, I say

We’re alright (alright) yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
We’re gonna get it where we livin, livin
We’re alright (alright) yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
We’re gonna get it where we livin
Whoa whoa

It’s a liberty walk, walk say goodbye to the
People who tied you up
It’s a liberty walk, walk
Feeling your heart again, breathing new oxygen
It’s a liberty walk, walk free yourself, slam the door
Not a prisoner anymore
Liberty, liberty, li-li-liberty, liberty, li-li
It’s a liberty walk (walk, walk)

Don’t stop, keep on walking it
Don’t stop, keep on talking sh!t
Don’t stop, keep on walking it
(walk, walk ….)

Don’t be afraid to make a move
It won’t hurt you just do what you would
Born to do and everything works out right
Don’t listen to all the people who hate
Cause all they do is make your mistakes
For ya, But they don’t own ya
I just told ya

Alright (alright) yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
We’re gonna get it where we livin, livin
We’re alright (alright) yeah, yeah (yeah, yeah)
We’re gonna get it where we livin
Whoa whoaa

It’s a liberty walk, walk say goodbye to the
People who tied you up
It’s a liberty walk, walk

Feeling your heart again, breathing new oxygen
It’s a liberty walk, walk free yourself, slam the door
Not a prisoner anymore
Liberty, liberty, li-li-liberty, liberty, li-li
It’s a liberty walk (walk, walk)

Don’t stop, keep on walking it
Don’t stop just walk this way
Don’t stop, keep on talking sh!t
(Don’t like, don’t like, don’t like, don’t like)

Don’t like what you do (walk)
Don’t take the abuse (walk)
Move to the truth (walk)
Before come on that means you (walk)

It’s a liberty walk, walk say goodbye to the
People who tied you up
It’s a liberty walk, walk
Feeling your heart again, breathing new oxygen
It’s a liberty walk, walk
Free yourself, slam the door not a prisoner anymore
Liberty, liberty, li-li-liberty, liberty, li-li
It’s a liberty walk (walk, walk)

Don’t stop, keep on walking it
Don’t stop, keep on talking sh!t
Don’t stop, keep on walking it
(walk, walk, walk)
