Later, water begins to rain on the performers as ‘River’ intensifies towards the end.Tune in here:Prior to dropping ‘River’, Cyrus described the tune as a “dancefloor banger” with a “nasty” sound. “It was a time in my life where I was going through just a lot emotionally and personally,” she recalled of how the single came about.Cyrus explained in a video on social media this week that ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ was split into two parts, ‘AM’ and ‘PM’.“The ‘AM’ to me is representing the morning time, where there’s a buzz and an energy and there’s a potential of new possibilities.

It’s a new day,” she said.As for the ‘PM’ part, the star added: “At nighttime, it feels like there’s a slinky, seediness and kind of a grime but a glamour at the same time.

In the evening, it’s a great time for rest, it’s a time to recover. Or it’s a time to go out and experience the wild side.“In LA, there’s a certain energy to the night and you can feel trouble boil up to the surface and it’s very inspiring to me.”Per a press release, the album was recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Kid Harpoon, Greg Kurstin, Mike WiLL Made-It and Tyler Johnson.
