Cyrus, a daughter of country music singer Billy Ray Cyrus, emerged as a teen idol while portraying the title character of the Disney Channel television series Hannah Montana (2006–2011). As Hannah Montana, she attained two number-one and three top-five soundtracks on the US Billboard 200, including the US Billboard Hot 100 top-ten single "He Could Be the One". Cyrus' own discography includes the US number-one albums Meet Miley Cyrus, Breakout and Bangerz; the top-five releases Can't Be Tamed, Younger Now, Plastic Hearts and Endless Summer Vacation. Her discography also includes 2015’s Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz which was released for free on SoundCloud before being released on digital and streaming services in the following years. Cyrus' EPs The Time of Our Lives and She Is Coming also debuted in the top-five. Endless Summer is Cyrus’ most acclaimed record stabling at Metacritic with a critical acclaim score of 79. Plastic Hearts was Cyrus' most acclaimed record before that, and her first entry on the Billboard Rock Chart, debuting atop the chart. It included the lead single "Midnight Sky". Her other singles include the US top ten-charting "See You Again", "7 Things", "The Climb", "Party in the U.S.A.", "Can't Be Tamed", "We Can't Stop", "Malibu", "Without You"; and the chart-topping "Wrecking Ball". In 2020, the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) awarded Diamond certification to "Party in the U.S.A.", recognizing sales of ten million for the single.
Cyrus' career accolades include making the Time 100 list in 2008 and also in 2014, being named MTV's Best Artist of 2013 Award, and appearing on Billboard's Greatest of All Time Artists Chart in 2019. She is regarded as one of the few examples of successful child actors-turned-singers. As an actress, Cyrus has made appearances in the animated film Bolt (2008) and the feature films Hannah Montana: The Movie (2009) and The Last Song (2010). On television Cyrus served as a coach on the singing competition series The Voice for two seasons, and starred in the episode "Rachel, Jack and Ashley Too" from the Netflix series Black Mirror (2019). Cyrus is an advocate for animal rights and adopted a vegan lifestyle in 2014. She founded the non-profit Happy Hippie Foundation in late 2014 focusing on youth homelessness and the LGBT community.
Ordinary Girl
Miley Cyrus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I don’t wanna be ungrateful –
it probably sounds strange
I really love the role I play – the songs I sing –
but with all the fame
The things that seemed so simple –
are suddenly so far out of reach
I wish that they could see that underneath
I’m just an ordinary girl sometimes
I’m lazy – I get bored – I get scared – I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly – I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have dreams, and I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world – for an ordinary girl
Like you, like me, for an ordinary girl, like you, like me
How are you, hello goodbye
One day here, one day there and again it’s time to go
Ms. popular, always on the road
Put my best foot forward, gotta get on with the show
Strike a pose for the front cover of a magazine
everywhere I arrive I get high fives
They paint me larger than life
I’m just an ordinary girl sometimes
I’m lazy – I get bored – I get scared – I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly – I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have dreams, and I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world – for an ordinary girl
Like you, like me, for an ordinary girl, like you, like me
So give it everything or nothing at all
Get back up on your feet when you stumble and fall
A little luck can go a long way
So don’t you worry about what people say
Who knows where the wind may blow
For an ordinary girl
I’m just an ordinary girl
Sometimes I’m lazy – I get bored –
I get scared – I feel ignored
I feel happy, I get silly –
I choke on my own words
I make wishes, I have dreams,
And I still want to believe
Anything can happen in this world –
for an ordinary girl
Like you, like me, for an ordinary girl,
like you, like me
For an ordinary girl, for an ordinary girl,
like you, like me
The lyrics to Miley Cyrus's song "Ordinary Girl" express her desire to be seen beyond her fame and celebrity status. Despite loving the role she plays and the songs she sings, she struggles with the complexities that come with being in the public eye. The fame she has acquired makes it difficult for her to enjoy and appreciate the simple things in life. She wishes that people could see her for who she truly is, just an ordinary girl with her own personal struggles and aspirations.
The verse that reads, "I’m just an ordinary girl sometimes, I’m lazy – I get bored – I get scared – I feel ignored. I feel happy, I get silly – I choke on my own words, I make wishes, I have dreams, and I still want to believe. Anything can happen in this world – for an ordinary girl like you, like me, for an ordinary girl, like you, like me," underscores that her celebrity status doesn't make her impervious to emotions and feelings that all ordinary people go through. Her message is that despite fame and fortune, we all have dreams, aspirations, and things that make us feel vulnerable.
In conclusion, "Ordinary Girl" is an introspective and relatable song that reminds us that regardless of our status or achievements, we are all human with insecurities, fears, and aspirations.

Wish that they could see the underneath

Hannah Montana really never had bad songs. This is a kids tv show and yet the quality never shifted. Even that stupid bread and jam song that Billy Ray and Jackson sang was fire. I miss these days.
@sydneysolomon696
The fucking cheese jerky song Jackson and Oliver sang😭😭
