He wrote: 'For my birthday, Miley gave me the gift of music and wrote me a song called Secrets and got my favorite musicians Fleetwood Mac to play on it! I love you Mile ❤️'. (sic)
Speaking on a podcast earlier this year, according to People.com, Miley said: "I wrote this song about my dad, because I wanted him to tell me even though there were secrets, even though I didn't really want to know. I wanted to be the one he felt safe enough to tell me the things that were damning and damaging to the family. I wanted him to think that as a middle child, I'm old enough that I could take some of that."
Who plays on the track?
Not only is this song inspired by Billy Ray Cyrus, two legendary musicians from the band Fleetwood Mac - Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood - also play on the song.
