Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Doo, doo, doo, doo, doo...

Designer clothes you wear one time
Tell me now who wouldn't love it?

Coast to coast sold out every CD
Loving every minute of it
Oh, wouldn't you want that too?
Who could blame you?
Oh, 'cause what I say it's true, oh yeah

The song you want I'm here to sing
Feels good, gotta bring it
Radios, night shows, then the star in movie roles
Woo, what's not to like?
huh-oh, huh-oh
When your a VIP, you get what ever you please
What's not to like?
The fans screaming your name, all the fortune and fame
Doesn't that sound nice?
You party all the time, you get to live the life (live the life)
What's not to like? (oh)
When you're a superstar, everyone knows who you are
What not to, what's not, what's not to like?
In the opening of Miley Cyrus's song, "What's Not To Like", we hear a catchy melody composed of doo's and yeah's. The lyrics emphasize the glamour and excitement of being a celebrity - the extraordinary life in the spotlight, the wealth, the adoration of fans, and the boundless opportunities. Miley sings about the superficial allure of fame, how it makes everything possible, how it's some sort of dream come true. She wonders, who wouldn't want this life too?
The chorus of the song highlights the attractive perks of being a VIP, being able to access whatever you please, and how the fans' screams and fortune and fame makes everything worth it. There is a sense of joy and excitement in her voice as she sings about the seemingly endless partying and the VIP treatment the famous life offers.
In the bridge, Miley reflects on the daily activities of a celebrity, signing autographs, performing live shows and ultimately making movies, before she brings the song to its ultimate climax reiterating the perks of the elite celebrity life, asking what's not to like about it?
Overall, Miley Cyrus's “What's Not To Like” is an ode to the allure of fame, a testimony to the benefits of being a celebrity and the opportunities it presents. But Miley doesn't ignore the fact that there are also downsides to fame, like the loss of privacy and the scrutiny of media.
