“I feel like I proved what I wanted to do,” Cyrus said. “I feel like I have respect and I feel like my charity Happy Hippie has given me that and I feel like I have the respect as an artist that I want, so it’s less that I have to prove myself, and that gives me a lot of contentment.”
Cyrus, whose music has taken a more mellow turn with her new single “Malibu,” also said that her openness about who she is and her fans seeing her more like a friend has also had a positive influence on her music.

“I think that makes me have more freedom in my music, because I feel like I can really just be myself and my fans are so accepting of me,” she explained.
