Miley Cyrus chatted about the "Wrecking Ball" music video on Elvis Duran's morning radio show today, according to USA Today, and the controversy it has spurred.

"I think the video is much more. If people get past the point I'm naked, and you actually look at me, you can tell I look more broken than even the song sounds," she said.

"The song is a pop ballad that everyone can relate too; everyone has felt that feeling at some point. but If people can take their minds off the obvious and go into their imagination and see what the video really means and the way that it is so vulnerable. Actually, if you look at my eyes I look more sad than actually my voice sounds on the record."

Miley also admitted that making the "Wrecking Ball" video meant a lot more to her than recording the song.

"It was a lot harder to actually do the video than it was to record the song. It was much more of an emotional experience," she revealed

Miley also talked about her "Twerk Queen" status, USA Today reports: "I don't know how that necessarily happened. For me, it's just like, anything I do becomes it becomes such a big deal. For me, I'm just having fun. Whatever people label it as it doesn't really matter. I always want to switch it up," she said on the radio show .
