Miley Cyrus’ ‘Something Beautiful’ Album: All 13 Tracks Ranked
Miley Cyrus' ninth album is a visual & sonic feast that proves the pop star has made peace with the journey that got her here.

Ranking the songs of a visual album can feel a bit like ranking scenes of a film — and yet, favorites always emerge. The scene that makes you weep, the one that motivates and inspires, or the one that reclaims power. With Something Beautiful, the ambitious and glamorous ninth album from superstar Miley Cyrus, she gives us all of that — and then some.
Across the album’s 13 tracks, including a prelude and two interludes, Cyrus manages to deliver her most raw album yet. Throughout, she openly details the mental gymnastics that accompany the end of a relationship, the push-and-pull desire to be loved, and her own capacity to give love. Everything is on the table, and the result is a clear snapshot of an artist who has put in the work — and emerged in her prime.
She’ll be the first to say that she only got to this moment thanks to a public life of highs and lows – but as this project proves, there’s beauty in it all. She also only arrived at this moment thanks to knowing herself well enough to put her own wants and needs first. As she joked at a listening event for fans earlier in the week: “I love making music with everybody on this carpet – I don’t do stages now,” a nod to news that she has no desire to tour again.
It was on the same carpet, in an intimate room at Los Angeles’ Chateau Marmont, that Cyrus workshopped the songs that became Something Beautiful. As she said, “Watching [the album] become this butterfly and have this metamorphosis and evolution, it’s so reflective of my life and everything I’m experiencing.”
The album will be followed with a short film of the same name. After debuting at Tribeca Film Festival, Something Beautiful will be shown as a one-night-only screening across North American theaters on June 12 and internationally on June 27.
And while these 13 tracks as a whole are what create Something Beautiful, you can find Billboard’s ranking of the songs that soundtracked Miley’s own metamorphosis below.
