On Friday, the 32-time Grammy winner, 42, released her new album Cowboy Carter, which features the surprise duet with the “Flowers” singer titled “II Most Wanted.”
Cyrus took to socials to give praise to the artist for the opportunity.
“II Most Wanted is out now on the new @Beyonce album #CowboyCarter,” she captioned a post which featured the Cowboy Carter album art. “I’ve loved Beyonce since long before I had the opportunity to meet & work with her.”
Cyrus, 31, continued: “My admiration runs so much deeper now that I’ve created along side of her. Thank you Beyonce. You’re everything & more. Love you. To everyone who spent time making this song so special thank you from the bottom of my heart. Sincerely , Miley.”

“II Most Wanted” is a duet on the album that details the devotion between two people in a long-term relationship over a chord progression that appears to interpolate the 1975 Fleetwood Mac classic “Landslide.”
Cyrus kicks off the track singing, “Know we’re jumpin’ the gun, but we’re both still young / One day, we won’t be / Didn’t know what I want ’til I saw your face / Say goodbye to the old me.”
The pair then trade off on the verses, “Came out of nowhere, didn’t give no warnin’ / Pedal so heavy, like the two most wanted / And I don’t know what you’re doin’ tonight But I.”
In the chorus, they join forces and sweetly harmonize: “I’ll be your shotgun rider ’til the day I die / Smoke out the window, flyin’ down the 405 / I’ll be your backseat baby, drivin’ you crazy / Anytime you like (Woah) / I’ll be your shotgun rider ’til the day I ‘Til the day I die.”
