Background and release

[edit]

In March 2025, the American singer Miley Cyrus announced her ninth studio album, Something Beautiful, and shared the trailer to its accompanying musical film, also titled Something Beautiful.[2] In May, she revealed the album's track listing through a visual trailer, which featured footage of the British model Naomi Campbell. "Every Girl You've Ever Loved", the eleventh track, was announced to feature Campbell.[2][3] Cyrus stated that she decided to create the song after Dolly Parton's positive reception to its title, when Cyrus shared it to her before the writing process began.[4][5]

Columbia Records released the album Something Beautiful, including "Every Girl You've Ever Loved", on May 30, 2025. On the same date, Cyrus performed the track and "Easy Lover" at the 3 Dollar Bill bar in New York, where an album release party took place.[6] In the visuals for the song included on the accompanying film, Cyrus and Campbell perform and dance in an empty warehouse with dim lights.[7] The visuals were released as a music video on June 30, 2025, one day after being teased by Cyrus on her social media accounts.[8][9] Columbia Records is scheduled to issue the song as a limited edition vinyl on July 11,[10] promoted by a signing event that took place weeks prior in London's Rough Trade.[11]

Composition

[edit]

Cyrus, Michael Pollack, Shawn Everett, Jonathan Rado, Alec O'Hanley, Pierre Guerineau, and Molly Rankin wrote "Every Girl You've Ever Loved", while the former three produced it with Ian Gold.[12] The song contains a sample of a Soulwax remix to a Marie Davidson track titled "Work It"; consequently, Davidson and Soulwax members (David and Stephen Dewaele) received writing credits.[13]

Music critics categorized "Every Girl You've Ever Loved" as a disco[14][15][16] and disco pop song.[9] Campbell appears with an spoken-word speech, in which she praises Cyrus: "She's got that kind of grace / Did Botticelli paint her face? / She's got the perfect scent / She speaks the perfect French".[16] For NME, Nick Levine compared the sound to the ballads by the British band Coldplay, and Campbell's participation to the English musical duo Pet Shop Boys.[17]

Critical reception

[edit]

Several critics highlighted "Every Girl You've Ever Loved" as a standout on Something Beautiful.[18][19] Elle included "Every Girl You've Ever Loved" on a list of the best music released in May 2025; the magazine's writer Samuel Maude perceived it as a "fashion anthem" and said that it had possibilities to become "[Cyrus's] next big hit".[19] Billboard's Lyndsey Havens ranked it as the fourth best track on the album and described its latter half as "the perfect soundtrack for a spellbinding vogue-off".[15] Several music publications believed that the lyrics of "Every Girl You've Ever Loved" referenced the English-Albanian singer Dua Lipa.[20][21] In a more negative review, Daisy Carter of DIY criticized its lyrics as cliche and "a laboured emulation of 'yass queen' sass", and Campbell's participation as not beneficial to the song.[22]
