On an exclusive interview with

Cyrus said, "Here it's gonna be the guy that I'm supposed to 'start all over' and we're at prom, so I'm just [...] not like in a dress or anything. So, it's random. It's like everything is happening all at once."[8] The ending of the music video, she explained, was when she went back to "where [she] belongs" after a day of "torture."[8]
