In the verses, Miley imagines what would happen if she spent a week without her partner. She suggests that she would go out and enjoy herself, possibly even kiss other people to signal her newfound freedom. The lyrics convey a sense of frustration towards her partner's bad attitude and the negative impact it has on her. Miley expresses that she's tired of dealing with the difficulties and mistreatment that her partner puts her through.
The chorus reflects Miley's realization that her partner has hurt her deeply, symbolized by "stomping on her heart". She wonders what it would be like to not have this person in her life. The desire to be free from the emotional pain and dissatisfaction is a significant theme throughout the song.
In the second verse, Miley envisions a life without her partner, where she can have fun and spend time with her friends. She yearns for a carefree existence without worries or stress. The reference to wearing old blue jeans instead of a "silly dress" represents a desire to return to a more authentic and comfortable version of herself, unencumbered by the expectations and demands of the relationship.
The bridge reveals a conflicting set of emotions. Miley acknowledges the history she has with her partner and reminisces about happier times. However, she recognizes that the relationship has taken a toll on her emotional well-being, leaving her constantly crying and feeling lonely. Despite the connection they once had, she acknowledges that being without her partner might ultimately be better for her emotional and mental health.
The repeated post-chorus emphasizes Miley's desire to break free and not have her partner around to cause any further pain or turmoil. The outro reinforces this sentiment and highlights the conflict between missing the person she once knew and the need for her own happiness and self-preservation.
Week Without You

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Bet you'd wonder what I'd do
I think that I'd start going out
Get caught kissing other dudes
And it seems you just wanna bring me down, down
With your bad attitude (bad attitude)
When you know I'm not one to keep dealing with the shit that you put me through
I know that I gave you my heart
But you stomped it to the ground
And that's what got me wondering what it's like
To not have you around
If I spent a week without you
Hmm, I'd probably have so much fun (have so much fun)
First things first I'd gather up all my girls, yeah
So we can lay out in the sun
It would be so nice not to worry, yeah
How I love not to stress
I'd go and grab my old blue jeans
I'm sick of wearing this silly dress
I know that I gave you my heart
But you stomped it to the ground
And that's what got me wondering what it's like
To not have you around
You know I'd miss you, baby
Feels like I've known you since I was just seven years old
You used to make me smile but now you don't do that anymore
It feels like I'm always just crying and sleeping alone
But when I think of you gone, I know
I know that I gave you my heart
But you stomped it to the ground
I don't want to wonder what it's like
To not have you around
To not have you around
To not have you around
To not have you around
To not have you around
You know I'd miss you, baby
You know I'd miss you, baby
You know I'd miss you, baby

If I spent a week without you

@MaragdaGarcia1995
this song is so good and she wrote it all by herself, just like the entire album!! this era is so underrated... i hope she gets more recognition when the whole album gets released
@MaragdaGarcia1995
(dolly parton co-wrote rainbowland) i'm talking about the rest of the album
@OnikasBaby
what??? malibu is like everywhere haha, inspired is very underrated, younger now idk (i dont like that one) and we will have to see how this one charts
@shanoncg
You kindof expect singe4s to write their songs anyway. You're not really a true artist of you aren't creating. But miley will forever be my musical should animal haha. I have this album on CD. It's helped me alot actually.
@ansika_art
Not just this song or this album but entire existence of Miley Cyrus is underrated ya she got more from flower song but she deserves way more than that 😔❤
@magicmysticman
she actually co-wrote it with justin timberlake in her dream
@franciscoramirez789
I love how she doesn't care about what people think. And her new music isnt the typical hits you get from pop artists and she doesn't care she does what she wants
@manuelorozco7760
I agree. In fact, her new sound has a refreshing rhythm. Particularly with Malibu
@aliciadotson8096
Hell yea
@nathxdantas
She is completely free ❤
