To this, she responded by saying that this was not her idea at all. She added:

"No shade to Dua Lipa, but it just isn't cohesive with the album. She would have been much better something like Summer Vacation, like she'd have been great on Wildcard," said Miley referring to Endless Summer Vacation.

According to Miley Cyrus, Dua Lipa's vocals would have suited more on River. Finally, she admitted that Prisoner made sense on Dua's record. Cyrus then talked about record producer Andrew Watt, who had produced Plastic Hearts.

According to Miley, Andrew's concept of rock'n'roll was different from her own idea about the same. She additionally stated:

"I can hear The Beatles, I can hear the Oasis, I can hear Rolling Stone. The only thing is the problem with that is that's Andrew Watts' idea of rock'n'roll."

Cyrus claimed that for her, rock'n'roll meant artists like Cher, Madonna, Diana Ross, and Donna Summer.
