Miley Cyrus' Easy Lover was meant to be a part of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter

During a conversation with Apple Music's Zane Lowe on May 21, 2025, Miley Cyrus shared how Easy Lover was supposed to be a part of Beyoncé's Cowboy Carter album. The track was created when Queen Bey and Miley's Grammy-winning song II MOST WANTED was being recorded. Talking about the story behind it, Miley told Lowe:

“That one is funny because there’s an ad-lib where I say ‘Tell ’em B’, and that was Beyoncé, ’cause she was taking songs for her country album and that was a song I’d written for that."

She continued:

“I had written originally that song around Plastic Hearts days and never got the production quite where I wanted it. I had written it with totally different verse but the chorus I had always loved."

Miley Cyrus mentioned that Easy Lover was written around 2020-2021 and she held on to it till she recalled the song when Beyoncé was on the hunt for melodies for her country album. However, Queen Bey picked the demo for II MOST WANTED, which was called Shotgun Rider at the time.

The Hannah Montana star also shared that she still had the ad-lib saying "Tell ’em B" on Easy Lover and didn't know what to do with it, given Queen Bey had picked the other demo for her album. Then, Brittany Howard offered to play the electric guitar, which sat perfectly with the track and the ad-lib.
