I'm a freak, hallelujah
Every day of the week I'ma do ya

Must be something in the water or that I'm my mother's daughter
Don't fuck with my freedom

The lyrics of Miley Cyrus’s song “Mother’s Daughter” celebrate individuality, self-confidence, and the power that comes with being a strong and independent woman. The chorus of the song asserts that the singer is “nasty” and “evil,” perhaps indicating that she will not be silenced or constrained by societal norms that attempt to dictate how she should behave. The lyrics suggest that the singer’s mother may have influenced her in this way, as indicated in the line “must be something in the water or that I’m my mother’s daughter.” Through these lyrics, Cyrus pays homage to her mother and other women who have inspired her.
The song is also playful in its references to animals and witchcraft. The singer describes herself as a “Nile Crocodile, a Piranha” and a “witch,” using these metaphors to express her power, strength, and perhaps even her danger. The lyrics are empowered and unapologetic, encouraging the listener to embrace their own power and individuality.

I literally get chills whenever she says “don’t fuck with my freedom” this song is soooo good.
@jujupatootie3232
especially with what has happened in Texas banning abortion rights, this song is more relevant than ever. How do we make this song become relevant again??
