This is a slightly mature love song released in 2013 by American singer Miley Cyrus.

Big a huge hit.
It’s a love song with sweet vocals and a sentimental chorus that sticks in your head.

It’s a straightforward love song with a message along the lines of “I love you just the way you are,” so direct it’s almost embarrassing.
