Miley Cyrus pide que el mundo vuelva a bailar en 'Bass Persuades', su nueva canción

Miley Cyrus, ahora únicamente Miley, convence a todo el mundo de que bailar sigue siendo la vía perfecta para escapar de las preocupaciones. Eso es lo que transmite Bass Persuades, su nueva canción y el primer sencillo del álbum homónimo que verá la luz el viernes 18 de septiembre.

Tras su anterior disco Something Beautiful (2025), la estadounidense lo apuesta todo al pop electrónico para invitarnos a salir a la calle a bailer: "No quiero hacerte cambiar de opinión / El bajo convence", canta. El estribillo critica que, en la actualidad, esta forma de expresión está en decadencia: "Los niños no quieren bailar / No podemos vivir así por siempre / Rindámonos ante la noche, juntemos nuestros cuerpos", repite.

"El bajo convence"

Para Miley, la música y el baile ayudan a evadirnos del mundo: "Sientes algo en la música / No sabes qué es / Pero puedo verlo en tus ojos / Quieres perderte en esto, vamos", susurra. Otros versos interesantes denuncian una deriva digital —"Pegaste los ojos a la pantalla del teléfono / Pero te perdiste el éxito por no tener MTV"— o hacen un guiño a su éxito We Can't Stop de 2013 —"But you know that you can't stop, won't stop"—.

"La música nos toma de la mano", escribió Miley al anunciar el disco. "La sentimos, la cantamos, a veces bailamos con ella, la dejamos salir y seguimos adelante. Es poderosa, vulnerable, dulce y fuerte. Corazón lleno, dolor de corazón, cada parte de la vida en medio. Eso es lo que el título significa para mí", añadió sobre Bass Persuades.

El videoclip, dirigido por Mert Alas, sigue la línea de la canción y apuesta por potentes imágenes de carácter sensual y coreográfico. Además, la obra parece inspirarse en las estéticas de otras estrellas del pop como Michael Jackson, Madonna, Britney Spears o Lady Gaga.

Letra de 'Bass Persuades'

Let's go

-

Step into the scene, you won't catch an eye

Walk into the party like the party is mine

Paving over pastures 'cause horses are gone

Forgetting there's a world when this record is on

Ghosts run to Bermuda 'cause there's no one to haunt

Candy's cut with fentanyl that nobody wants

Spin it for a minute, make it all disappear

If we ain't moving, baby, baby, why are we here?

-

And I don't wanna change your mind

The bass persuades

No, I don't wanna change your mind (Let's go)

-

Thе kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Mhm)

Thе kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance

We can't stay like this forever

Let's surrender to the night, put our bodies close together, uh-huh

-

Glued your eyes to the telephone screen

But you missed the hit without MTV

Go analog (Yeah) like a cinema (Yeah)

Just look out the window and what do you see?

In the treetops, it's a clear shot

Yeah, chaos is king, but you know that you can't stop, won't stop

New fit is a monster

Love it so much, go hang it on a poster

-

And I don't wanna change your mind

The bass persuades

No, I don't wanna change your mind (Let's go)

-

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Mhm)

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance

We can't stay like this forever

Let's surrender to the night, put our bodies close together, uh-huh

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Don't you want to dance? Mhm)

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Don't you want to dance?)

We can't stay like this forever

Let's surrender to the night, put our bodies close together, uh-huh

-

You feel something in the music

You don't know what it is

But I can see it in your eyes

You want to lose yourself to this, let's go

-

Don't you want to dance? (Uh-huh, mhm)

Don't you want to dance? (Uh-huh, mhm)

Don't you want to dance? (Mhm-hm)

Stay forever, surrender, put our bodies close together, uh

-

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Don't you want to dance? Uh-huh, mhm)

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Don't you want to dance?)

We can't stay like this forever (Mhm)

Let's surrender to the night, put our bodies close together, uh-huh

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Don't you want to dance? Mhm)

The kids don't wanna dance, the kids don't wanna dance (Don't you want to dance?)

We can't stay like this forever (Mhm)

Wait forever, surrender, put our bodies close together, uh
