In the video, the singer’s look is just as stripped down.

Walking on the beach in a sweater and bikini bottom, Cyrus sings about reconnecting with a romantic partner.

In other scenes, she’s standing in a field with two low pigtails, laying in tall grass and sitting on rocks as a waterfall flows behind her.
