Miley Cyrus Releases Free Single About Lesbian Sex
Winnie McCroy READ TIME: 3 MIN.
Singing, "I want you to bang my box," Miley Cyrus has released a new single about having Sapphic sex. And luckily for the lesbians, it's a free download, so it won't cut into that huge cat food budget.
UK's Pink News reports that the "Wrecking Ball" singer, who has not been shy about her gender fluidity and attraction to both men and women, surprised fans while hosting�the VMAs by releasing a new album online for free.
Though much of the attention was taken up by her performance of track "Dooo It!" featuring a number of performers from "RuPaul's Drag Race," the singer's free album also includes a racier number, "Bang Me Box."
In an interview with the New York Times, Cyrus explained that the track was a "pretty self-explanatory" song about�lesbian sex.
The lyrics are borderline explicit, including the lines, "Want to lick it so much that it's almost like I taste it on the tip of my tongue," "I want yours inside of me, but don't forget where I like licking baby... just know I like it naughty." She finishes up by singing that, "You finger my heart/ I know just what I need, what I came here to do."
Cyrus isn't shy about her sexuality, and has confirmed that she is pansexual rather than lesbian or bisexual, saying, "I'm very open about it -- I'm pansexual. But I'm not in a relationship. I'm 22, I'm going on dates, but I change my style every two weeks, let alone who I'm with."
The former Disney actress, whose Happy Hippie Foundation�supports young LGBT people, also spoke about using her body to get attention to speak about real issues. She said, "If you get your tits out, and they are all looking, then you can use that space to say something and get them to listen."
The song's lyrics are below:
"I sleep with the door open if you want to come in while I'm sleeping
I'm always sleeping naked, cause you wake up and you're creeping
Want to lick it so much that it's almost like I taste it on the tip of my tongue
I want to touch it so bad that it's almost like I can feel it on my fingertips
I want yours inside of me, but don't forget where I like licking babe
I want to make your fantasies realities, I want to be yours babe
I want you to bang my box
I want you to bang my box
There ain't nothing I'm scared to try
I can be on top or, if you like it I just lie here
Take my picture, position my body
Wherever you like, just know I like it naughty
Teach me a lesson, pretend we never met
But we can't keep just kissing, cause you're getting me so wet
The only downside to this morning is you getting up and you leaving
When I'm dreaming and you're in 'em I wake myself up cause I'm screaming
What are you doing to me
It's like you're a zookeeper, setting animals free
You release me, like a tiger that's been locked in a cage
Here I am, here you are
I want it so hard
You finger my heart
I know just what I need, what I came here to do
I've been thinking baby, been mostly about you
I want you to bang my box
I want you to bang my box
You say it tastes like cake with my lips against your face, I want you to eat it baby."
