In a heart-touching gesture, singer-songwriter Miley Cyrus has dedicated her new song "Secrets" to her father, Billy Ray Cyrus, as a way to mend their strained relationship.
Miley described the track as a "peace offering," which she gave to Billy as a gift for his 64th birthday in August, symbolising a new chapter for the father and daughter.
In a recent TV appearance, the singer was asked how her dad reacted when she gave him the song, she said: "My dad cried."
"You don't see your dad cry a lot," the star continued, adding that it's something "you remember," whether they are "happy tears or painful tears."
The “Hannah Montana” star continued, "I don't know if I've seen my dad cry since his dad passed away. My dad, you know, I just haven't really seen that."

She further shared that the track, which features the talents of Fleetwood Mac's Lindsey Buckingham and Mick Fleetwood, brought about "mixed emotions, because there are things that for us, my dad and I, we just kind of moved forward."
"We didn't feel that there needed to be a whole conversation, because him and I just communicate better through song," Miley said, adding, "And so once he got the song, it feels like it said something in a couple of minutes that would have taken, you know, maybe a family with a more structured, therapeutic dynamic a lot of sessions."
"But instead of us doing sessions," she continued, "we just do studio sessions and we send a song and we say, 'I love you.' And that feels peaceful for us."
The 32-year-old singer went on to say that she doesn't "think there should be any judgment on how people make peace."
