Miley Cyrus has released a new track titled “My Sad Christmas Song" for anyone who has a broken heart this holiday season. The singer posted a link to her SoundCloud on December 21, as well as shared a poignant message to let her fans know they're not alone.
With lyrics like, "I turn on the radio / I binge-watch our favorite shows / This year feels kind of lame / But the last one was the same," the song describes the heavy feeling of the holiday blues—especially if you're missing a loved one.
"A sad Christmas song I wrote a few years back right before the holidays," Cyrus wrote on Instagram. "Was feeling like s**t cause I couldn’t be with the one I loved. Even with a house full of family and friends I still felt alone."
She continued, "In ways that still feels relevant and someone reading this right now could possibly relate! If you feel lonely this season just know YOU ARE COMPLETELY MADE OF MAGIC!"
"You are as special as a snowflake, beautifully unique and I hope inside your soul feels light, hope, peace, and joy knowing how singularly amazing YOU are! Love always wins!" Cyrus added.

Though Cyrus didn't reveal who inspired the track, chances are she's referring to ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.
In 2015 the two were months away from reconciling since they were spotted at a musical festival in January 2016. This time of year is also a time for reminiscing because Cyrus and Hemsworth had a secret December wedding at their home in Nashville last year. The couple have since gone their separate ways after announcing their split over the summer.
Since then, Cyrus has been linked to Cody Simpson, but breakup rumors have been swirling since Simpson was recently spotted with another woman. Perhaps Cyrus was sending a pointed message with her new track as well?
On Monday (December 23), what would've been Cyrus and Hemsworth's one-year anniversary, Cyrus also posted to Instagram Stories about self-love: “Been seeing a lot of posts about self love and care during Christmas! I think it is super important for everyone to truly enjoy themselves this holiday season! Take time off, relax, enjoy warm meals, indulge in the sweets we usually try to stay away from but alsooooooo KEEP MOVING! Even if it’s for 15-20 minutes a day! Something is better than nothing!”
The singer urged her followers to exercise or move, saying that doing Pilates helped her feel "positive" and "lifted."
