Miley Cyrus Admits ‘We Can’t Stop’ Lyric Is About Drugs, Doesn’t Worry About Losing Young Fans

Miley Cyrus has admitted that her song "We Can't Stop" really is about drugs as people had speculated. She told the Daily Mail that the party song references Molly, which is a slang term for MDMA, the Huffington Post reports.

At first the song's producers said the song lyric was "dancing for Miley" not "dancing for Molly." Cyrus decided to set the record straight telling the British newspaper that even though she admits to using a drug reference it also depends on who's listening to the song.

"It depends on who's doing what. If you're aged ten [the lyric is] Miley, if you know what I'm talking about then you know. I just wanted to be played on the radio and they've already had to edit it too much," she told the Daily Mail. "I don't think people have a hard time understanding that I've grown up. You can Google me and you know what I'm up to - you know what that lyric is saying."

She also complained that her video had been highly edited by MTV UK. She said when they sent over the video MTV UK sent it back to them with about 18 things they wanted her to change before they would air the video. One of the things they wanted edited was when Cyrus uses her mouth to make an oral sex gesture. They made the singer put a big, black 'x' over her mouth.

A lot of people criticized the video saying it was too mature for the "Party in The USA" singer. When the Daily Mail asked Cyrus what she would say to all the people who felt her music video for "We Can't Stop" was too racy she brought up the Trayvon Martin case.

"Then I'll give you an edit. I just think the world is so lame because you can shoot people in a movie and you can let people like [George] Zimmerman off on trial but you can't have someone going like this [she stimulates oral sex gesture], that is so dumb to me," Cyrus said. "The world is such a fucked up place the last thing people need to worry about is my cute little video for 'We Can't Stop,' you know what I mean?"

Even though this shows a different side to the young singer, she said she isn't afraid of losing her young fans. She said sometimes a person has to do things they don't necessarily like to get to where they really want to be and that is exactly what she did for five years. It sounds like the pop star is referring to her days as Hanna Montana from 2006-2011 on the Disney Channel.

"I would say everyone has to start from the bottom, to get where they want to go and work on things they don't really care about doing," she said. "So I had to do that for five years. I had to work on something that wasn't really a passion for me just because I wanted to be able to get here, so when I was older I'd be able to just do what I want and not have to work for money."
