In the video, she gives herself a river baptism, rides a white horse and cavorts with a butterfly.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cReligion or spirituality can mean many different things to many different people,\u201d Cyrus elaborated in a statement. \u201cThis song is not about or for one religion or belief system. Jesus basically represents a greater understanding and knowledge that everything has its purpose and everything will work itself out the way it\u2019s supposed to. It will be OK, so long as we are guided by compassion and community. Both are needed more than ever right now. I was born and raised Christian with strong beliefs and still hold those values.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI was smoking weed one night, and had this epiphany, then wrote the song, hence the title. I hope this song resonates with people, especially with all that is going on in the world right now. Humans have evolved in so many beautiful ways, but we\u2019ve also gotten so out of touch with the world, and each other. We\u2019ve all lost sight of so many of the simplest things.&nbsp; As PJ [Peter Harding], who I wrote the song with put it: it\u2019s about extensional dread. What I love about the song is the multiple meanings it holds and how it will affect each and every listener differently.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Earlier this year, Cyrus embarked on a mini-tour, playing shows in London, New York City and Los Angeles. She teamed up with Jimmie Allen for the track \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-country\/jimmie-allen-noah-cyrus-this-is-us-956356\/\">This Is Us<\/a>,\u201d which was released in February.
