She Is Miley Cyrus (stylized in all caps) was the upcoming seventh studio album by American singer Miley Cyrus. It was expected to be released in 2020, through RCA Records. Work on the album began shortly before the release of her sixth studio album Younger Now in September 2017.

As of 2020 the album has been scrapped in favor of the rock inspired album, Plastic Hearts.

Background[]

Cyrus deleted all posts from her Instagram account in July 2018 and was absent from social media through November, when she returned to announce her collaboration with Mark Ronson, Nothing Breaks Like a Heart and continued work on her forthcoming record.[1] Cyrus and Ronson told Matt Wilkinson of Beats 1 that they were "80% done" with their albums, and tentatively planned for Cyrus' project to be released in June 2019.

Cyrus held a private listening session of the album for iHeartRadio executives upon announcing its completion in May 2019.[2] On May 9, Cyrus announced on social media that she would be releasing new music on May 30, and later stated that the rollout of her new music would be "unconventional."[3] On May 31, Cyrus tweeted that the record would be titled She Is Miley Cyrus, and that it would be preceded by three six-song extended plays: She Is Coming on May 31, She Is Here in the summer, and She Is Everything in the fall.[4] Cyrus described the three EPs to be "different [chapters] to a trilogy" that together form the full-length record. Their track listings were to be "seasonal" in nature; she related She Is Coming to "[wanting to feel] light and feel the warmth" of early summer, and She Is Here and She Is Everything to being "colder and a little darker" as the release cycle was to extend into the fall. She Is Here was inspired by "the present of where [Cyrus is] at," while She Is Everything was to be comparatively more ballad-driven. She later explained that the "she" pronoun in the album title describes the "most confident version of herself."

Cyrus continued work on the record following her separation from husband Liam Hemsworth in August. The following month, it was reported that Cyrus was undecided between updating the existing album that was completed before her divorce or scrapping that version of the record altogether. On October 20, it was speculated from Cyrus' Instagram Live video the albums original tracklist was completed in November 2018. On November 3 2019, Ronson stated that Cyrus' collaborations with him were tentatively planned to be released before the end of that year. On November 9, however, it was reported that Cyrus' new music would be delayed until early 2020 due to her vocal cord surgery earlier that month.

On New Year's Day 2020, Cyrus uploaded a highlight video of the past decade and announced that "[the] new era starts now."[5] With the release of the single "Midnight Sky" on August 14, Cyrus confirmed the cancellation of the She Is Here and She Is Everything EPs, citing that "this year has been extremely unexpected [and] I guess I was feeling like it didn't make sense for me to continue the next two projects."[6]
