Noah Cyrus Releases New Album “I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME”
American singer-songwriter Noah Cyrus released her sophomore album “I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME” on July 11, 2025 via Records Label and Columbia Records.
It is her first album in three years since the 2022 debut album “The Hardest Part”.
The album comprises 11-track, featuring guest appearances from Fleet Foxes, Ella Langley, Blake Shelton, and Bill Callahan.
Produced by Noah Cyrus, Mike Crossey, and PJ Harding. Also, her father Billy Ray Cyrus and brother Braison Cyrus contributed the songs for the album.
Noah Cyrus said of the album, “For a long time, I couldn't really trust in my own choices. I had to learn how to make decisions for myself and make that transition into adulthood. But I've found who I am, I know who I am, and this record shows what I had inside me all this time. This album is me.”
She continued, “I want this album to offer fans a sense of comforting, peaceful nostalgia. That's something that I feel so heavily when I listen to music. We all want to connect with our past while also being aware of the present moment. Music does that for me, and this collection of songs was made with that in mind. I want to evoke that feeling of a comforting friend that a song can be - and allow us all to heal.”- She told Rolling Stone about the album, “The album, whether it's super clear or not, is quite conceptual. It is about a lot of the same of characters. They relate to each other and relate to different parts of my life and different points in my life, whether that's my great-grandfather or my father or my mother, or even my fiancé or my brother writing a song. There's so much of my family's lineage that inspires and is inside of this record.”
She added, “Something I had to learn in the past two to three years is that no matter where you go, there you are. Learning to be there for yourself, that's really hard… But I'm not looking at the record, and the topics around the record, from inside. I feel like I'm looking from the other side of it, where I'm so clear, where I'm talking about these really heavy subjects that were really painful at the time. But it's like, 'Okay, this is my understanding of it right now.' This is all coming from an understanding place.” -
Noah Cyrus explained some tracks for the album.
“I Saw The Mountains”
“This is the most excited I've been for a song of mine to release, ever. PJ Harding and i wrote this out of my home in LA. It was one of those days where the song just wrote itself. We both were so stoked after finishing it, we knew we wrote something really extraordinary and special. Moved and inspired by the entire experience, we ended up writing a whole other song the next day just about how much we love music and songs. I'm not sure any other way of explaining it but it feels like I've known this song my whole life. From the moment it was born it felt familiar.
This video, I dedicate to the very first love of my life, my horse Constantine. 'I am wherever you are', buddy.”
“Don't Put It All On Me” featuring Fleet Foxes
“Braison has always been the observer in our family. He has always pointed out that within our family dynamic, I tend to carry a lot the weight on my shoulders. Braison wrote about how I tend to carry the weight of that on my shoulders.
Braison, 'some days we might fall apart, but we're never broken. The words that were spoken mean nothing to me.' You're my role model, my best friend, and my brother. I love you so much. You wrote a beautiful song with your buddy Old Sea Brigade, and I'm truly lucky to be the storyteller and singer.”
“New Country” featuring Blake Shelton
“It's a song about finding a new place in life, about walking on your own two feet, and realizing that change is the only thing that's constant. The only way out is through. Elated and honored to have Blake Shelton on this one.. God told me that Blake was the one i was supposed to tell this message and sing with. I followed that prophecy and intuition and stopped at nothing but to get in touch with him. God did his thing and here we are. Blake, I am so honored to share this song with you. You are a legend and I feel truly blessed we got to work together on this song. thank you for your stunning performance and giving what sounds like a part of your soul in it.
The meaning of this song means very much to me. I think we've all had changes and phases in life that felt like walking into 'New Country.'.. For me, 'New Country' is learning to walk on your own two feet and finding your own independence. 'no matter where you go, there you are.' the past few years for myself personally, while even making 'I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME' was full of change, though was scary and forced me into new country...The only way out was through and only made me stronger.”
“Apple Tree”
“My album title 'I WANT MY LOVED ONES TO GO WITH ME' is the name of a hymn featured on the record in a song called Apple Tree, written my by great grandfather, whom I'm named after Eldon Lindsey Cyrus and sung by my Pappy, Ron Cyrus. it just so happens the album is to drop tonight, on his birthday. All by divine timing, I'm confident my pappy is celebrating his big debut up in heaven with all of our loved ones who left too soon before us. I am so grateful to come from a lineage where music runs through our veins and connects us back our ancestors and back to who we are...”
“Man In The Field”
“There's reverb at the tail end of 'Apple Tree' that carries from start to finish throughout 'Man in the Field.' If you were to strip away everything except that part, you would just hear one hum, one note, all the way through the entire song. We wanted to bring that same ghost, that same spirit, to 'Man in the Field.'”
“With You”
“My dad is one of my biggest influences. He turned me on to so many great songs and artists. My musical inspirations came from somewhere, and more often than not, it's been him.” - source : Apple Music
