Noah Cyrus Trades Pop for Pedal Steel on New Americana Album ‘I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me’

Noah Cyrus has announced her sophomore album I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me, a sweeping, rootsy meditation on family, nature, and hard-won self-acceptance. Due out July 11 via RECORDS/Columbia, the album sees Cyrus stepping confidently into Americana and indie-folk territory, with an all-star supporting cast including Blake Shelton, Fleet Foxes’ Robin Pecknold, Ella Langley and Bill Callahan.
To celebrate the release, Cyrus will play a special one-night-only show at Los Angeles' The Ford on release day, before embarking on a full North American headline tour this autumn. General tickets go on sale Friday, June 20 at 10am local time, with artist pre-sales opening June 17. Early access and VIP packages are available via her official site.
Co-produced by Cyrus alongside longtime collaborators Mike Crossey and PJ Harding, I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me leans all the way into the genre-bending instincts hinted at on her 2022 debut The Hardest Part. With a sound rooted in pedal steel, banjo, dulcimer, cello and acoustic guitar, the record filters country and folk traditions through the smoky lens of Cyrus’s unmistakable voice — at once weary, warm, and wise beyond its years.
“For a long time, I couldn't really trust in my own choices,” the 25-year-old says of the album’s emotional core. “I had to learn how to make decisions for myself and make that transition into adulthood. But I've found who I am, I know who I am, and this record shows what I had inside me all this time. This album is me.”
That identity comes steeped in legacy. The album pays tribute to her family with layered nuance — from a collaboration with Fleet Foxes’ Pecknold on a song penned by her brother Braison, to a tender reinterpretation of the first track her father Billy Ray Cyrus ever wrote, titled “With You”. “My dad is one of my biggest influences,” she says. “He turned me on to so many great songs and artists… more often than not, it’s been him.”
Elsewhere, she taps into that familial reverence through nature. On “I Saw the Mountains”, she channels her upbringing across Tennessee and California, delivering an ode to the land, horses, and quiet wisdom passed down from her dad. “The harmony between people and the earth is really taken for granted,” she says. “My dad taught us from an early age to connect with nature and the animals that inhabit it.”
In stepping into herself, Noah Cyrus hasn’t just made a country record — she’s made a statement. I Want My Loved Ones to Go With Me is less a departure from pop and more a return to something elemental. Something she’s carried with her all along.
“I want this album to offer fans a sense of comforting, peaceful nostalgia,” she says. “Music can be like a friend, a moment of healing. That’s what this album is for me — and I hope it can be that for others too.”
