Used to be Young by Miley Cyrus is an incredible Pop Ballad which has so many songwriting & long forgotten music theory concepts used throughout the verse, chorus & bridge sections. In this detailed song analysis tutorial, I break down 5 elements which I think make this song remarkable! You will learn about the Theory & multiple songwriting secrets in this lesson. From the beautifully voiced Piano intro to the incredible rhythmic figure in the Bridge and the “old-school” chord techniques like secondary dominants & minor plagal cadences, this song has it all!
