Miley<\/strong><\/a> has released the official music video for her new song “Different Religion,”<\/em><\/strong> featuring Model\/Actriz<\/strong><\/a>!<\/p>\n

The 33-year-old superstar unveiled the new visual on Wednesday (September 30), less than two weeks after releasing her tenth studio album Bass Persuades<\/em>.<\/p>\n

“Different Religion” is the second track on the album and features vocals from Model\/Actriz<\/strong> frontman Cole Haden<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The music video was directed by famed photographer and director Mert Alas<\/strong>, who has been heavily involved in the visuals for Miley<\/strong>‘s latest era.<\/p>\n

So, what is “Different Religion” actually about?<\/p>\n

What Does Miley’s “Different Religion” Mean?<\/h3>\n

“Different Religion” uses religious imagery to describe intense physical and romantic attraction.<\/p>\n

Throughout the song, Miley<\/strong> compares a lover to a god and presents desire almost like a new faith. She sings about wanting to be “saved” by this different religion while suggesting that she and her lover don’t need forgiveness.<\/p>\n

“I want to be saved by a different religion, I crave to believe him,<\/em>” she declares.<\/p>\n

The religious imagery continues throughout the track with references to Heaven, Jesus and angels, while those spiritual ideas are paired with physical descriptions of attraction and intimacy.<\/p>\n

The result is essentially a song about surrendering yourself to desire and treating a lover with the kind of devotion normally associated with faith.<\/p>\n

Miley <\/strong>worked on this album with her fianc\u00e9, Maxx Morando<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Miley <\/strong>explained that while she wants the happy ending and stability of a lasting relationship, she also wants passion that feels “a little bit dangerous.”<\/p>\n

She also spoke about<\/a> collaborating with Model\/Actriz<\/strong>, describing the band as one of her favorites and explaining that “Different Religion” has more “rawness and aggression” than the ethereal, dreamy sound she often gravitates toward.<\/p>\n
