It’s been a long time since Pharrell Williams and Miley Cyrus released a collaborative track, but the musicians have now reconnected for the new song “Doctor (Work It Out).” Watch the Jacob Bixenman–directed visual for the single below.
Williams and Cyrus previously worked together on the 2014 Girl song “Come Get It Bae.” And, in an interview with Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1, the musicians revealed that “Doctor (Work It Out)” actually dates back to 2012. “We just knew it was early,” Williams said. “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.”
Cyrus added, “We just believe so much in timing and in everything happening when it’s supposed to. And around the Grammys, Pharrell and I were talking about putting the song out, and it just felt like it was so serendipitous, and there were so many alignments and so many moments that made me know that now was the perfect time. And then sometimes things in our past make more sense in our present than they ever did then. And so this song, I think the nature, the celebration, the feeling, especially with the video, the joy, the dancing, the letting go, it’s what this song really always needed.”
“Doctor (Work It Out)” is the first new song from Miley Cyrus since the singer’s milestone victories for Best Pop Solo Performance and Record of the Year at the 2024 Grammy Awards. She won her awards for Endless Summer Vacation’s lead single, “Flowers.”
