Immerse yourself in the intoxicating allure of Lockdown, a captivating track from Miley Cyrus’ highly anticipated album Something Beautiful (Deluxe), set to enchant listeners on September 19, 2025. Teaming up with the eclectic David Byrne, Cyrus delivers a sultry, genre-defying anthem that fuses pop’s shimmering gloss with art-rock’s experimental edge. Produced by her along with Jonathan Rado, Maxx Morando, Max Taylor-Sheppard, and Shawn Everett, Lockdown pulses with dreamy synths and hypnotic beats, weaving a tale of clandestine love and emotional surrender. Lines like “All your love stays on lockdown / Can’t tell my friends, ‘cause they all talk down” and “You bring out an animal feelin’ / Why’d you leave me waiting so long?” capture the thrill of secrecy and the ache of longing, reflecting Cyrus’ fearless evolution since her 2023 release Endless Summer Vacation.
The track’s cinematic vibe, amplified by Byrne’s quirky vocal interplay, evokes a nocturnal haze where time blurs—perfectly encapsulated in “I don’t know if it’s day, I don’t know if it’s night.” Fans on X are buzzing, drawing parallels to the raw vulnerability of Plastic Hearts while celebrating the avant-garde twist of this collaboration, rumored to be inspired by Cyrus’ introspections during her 2024 world tour. Lockdown ties into Something Beautiful (Deluxe)’s theme of embracing life’s messy, radiant moments, with its lush imagery of “marigold fields” and “gold icons” painting a fairytale-like escape. Dive into the Lockdown lyrics below and unpack its electric narrative. Don’t miss other Something Beautiful (Deluxe) tracks for more of Cyrus’ radiant magic.

Lyrics of Secrets by Miley Cyrus
[Part I]
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
All Your Love Stays On Lockdown
Can’t Tell My Friends, ’cause They All Talk Down
I Won’t Lie, Baby, You’re My Secret
All Your Love Stays On Lockdown
[Verse: David Bryne & Both]
I Don’t Know If It’s Day, I Don’t Know If It’s Night
I Don’t Need To Go Out, I Wanna Stay Inside
Come On Over Love, We’ve Been Lost And Found
Come On Over Love, We Can Lock It Down
Lock It Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down
[Chorus: Miley Cyrus]
All Your Love Stays On Lockdown (Stays On Lockdown)
Can’t Tell My Friends, ’cause They Don’t Talk Down
I Won’t Lie (Won’t Lie, Won’t Lie), Baby, You’re My Secret (Secret)
All Your Love Stays On Lockdown

You Bring Out An Animal Feelin’
Why’d You Leave Me Waiting So Long?
I’ve Been Drowning In Your Love Beneath Me
Take My Breath Away ’till It’s Gone
Put Me On Your Castle, Chandelier, Fairytale
Atmosphere, Marigold Fields, Gold Icons
And I Fall For The Only Ones Who Chose
No One Else Knows, No
[Verse: David Bryne & Both]
I Don’t Know If It’s Day, I Don’t Know If It’s Night
I Don’t Need To Go Out, I Wanna Stay Inside
Come On Over Love, We’ve Been Lost And Found
Come On Over Love, We Can Lock It Down
Lock It Down, Down, Down, Down, Down, Down

All Your Love Stays On Lockdown
