The new song “Nothing to Lose” includes sexually suggestive lyrics that made me rather uncomfortable knowing that a minor was part of the recording.
Here are just a few of the lyrics of the song quoted from a US magazine interview with Bret:
“We both know better than this/Still we can’t resist/Slowly get undressed.” In the sensual chorus, they sing together: “Won’t you fall down on me/So close I can feel you breathe.”
In the US magazine interview Brett says: “I never sat down and said, ‘Look at the content. Look at the lyrical content … There is nothing I have to be defensive about,” “There is no reference to her. It’s not even a duet! I just thought it was a beautiful song.”
Apparently the idea for Miley to be included in the song came when Bret and Miley were in the studio working on her remake of Bret’s song “Every Rose Has Its Thorn”. Miley told Bret she thought the song was beautiful and she would love to add a few vocals and harmony to the song.
We want you to sound off…. tell us your thoughts on “Nothing to Lose.
