I am sincerely thankful for the stability of your steadfast support. This song is for you.” 

Regarding the video, Miley noted, “It’s super emotional because I am kind of a mini-me of my mom, and I could see her inside the camera by using a technology where I could livestream with my mom from inside of the camera. So, we could see each other, and as she was dancing, it just made me cry, it made me laugh, it brought up so many real emotions, and I think it’s letting people into true emotion, which I don’t feel we get to see very much these days.”
