Miley Cyrus: Tongue Tied (alternatively titled Miley) is an American short film directed by photographer Quentin Jones and starring recording artist Miley Cyrus. It was released on May 1, 2014 by the lifestyle website Nowness, although it had been previously used for the introduction of her headlining Bangerz Tour. The black-and-white video displays a topless Cyrus engaging in several sadomasochistic behaviors. Contemporary critics compared Miley Cyrus: Tongue Tied to earlier music videos by recording artist Madonna and the erotic novel Fifty Shades of Grey (2011), and agreed that it continued to solidify the sexually-explicit public image she had cultivated in 2013.Synopsis
A two-minute short film, Miley Cyrus: Tongue Tied features the track "Stockholm Syndrome" by 30's featuring Zoee. Heavily inspired by electronic music, its lyrics "hold me down so it's hard to breathe" contribute to the overtly sexual nature of the video. The film is alternatively named Miley in its title card; the black-and-white film itself is contained within a square, and is bordered by excess white space on either side.
