Miley Cyrus shows off a new, emotional side in the music video for her single "Wrecking Ball" - along with a whole lot more.

In the most memorable scene of the piece, Cyrus, 20, is seen completely nude, on a wrecking ball, and in others, she's crying.

Miley's Style Through the Years

It makes sense: Cyrus has said that this album is a personal one.

"I feel like I can really be myself," she told Billboard. "I really have more of a connection of who I am, and I feel like I can maybe express that more in my music now."

Expression has been a big part of the former child star's life lately. At the MTV Video Music Awards last month, she got people talking with her risque duet with Robin Thicke.

"Me and Robin, the whole time said, 'You know we're about to make history right now,'" she explained. "People are still talking about it!"
