Miley Cyrus to `Work It Out' with producer Pharrell Williams

- By EmilyAnn Jackman pennlive.com

She might have won a Grammy Award, but pop star Miley Cyrus isn't resting on her laurels.

The “Flowers” singer released her latest song, “Doctor (Work It Out),” this week. With musician and songwriter Pharrell Williams at the helm as producer, the new release is predicted to be a hit for the 31-year-old GrammyAwar­d winner.

Before its release Friday, she shared a snippet of the new track on Instagram Thursday night, giving fans a sneak peak of what was to come.

The “Hannah Montana” star also shared photos of the track's video on her Instagram Story, as part of a countdown to the song's release.

The singer also had reposted the teaser video earlier this week of her tapping her legs to the beat at the beginning of the video and singing, “I could be your doctor/And I could be your nurse/I think I see the problem/It's only gon' get worse.”

The video features Cyrus in an array of glamorous outfits, including a flattering large blue fluffy jacket, a silver sequined crop top and matching shorts, and a sparkling mini dress that, quite frankly, steals the show.

Williams and Cyrus previously worked together on Williams' 2014 “Girl” album, with the song “Come Get It Bae.”

In an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music, the two revealed that “Doctor (Work It Out)” is actually an old song, dating to 2012, according to Pitchfork.

“We just knew it was early,” Williams said during the interview. “You just never know. And there's a moment where you feel like you feel the stickiness in something, but you may feel that the environmen­t is not ready for it.”

“Doctor (Work It Out)” is the first new song from Cyrus since her 2024 Grammy wins for best pop solo performanc­e and record of the year for “Flowers.”
