Why Miley Cyrus Says Her Dua Lipa Collaboration Didn’t Work

During the podcast, Cyrus as asked why Lipa ended up on the album, leading the singer to respond with the fact that it "wasn't her idea."

"No shade to Dua, but ‘Prisoner’ just isn’t cohesive with the album," Cyrus further explained. "She would’ve been much better on Endless Summer Vacation, like she would’ve been great on ‘Wildcard’ or ‘River’ - could you imagine?"

Despite their collaboration on the song "Prisoner", their have been rumors of a feud between Cyrus and Lipa. "Prisoner" was initially released under Cyrus' Plastic Hearts album, but was then included on the re-release of Lipa's Future Nostalgia album, which led to streaming numbers benefiting Lipa's album. Additionally, fans had noticed at the time that Cyrus was listed as a featured artist and not a co-writer.
