Songfacts®:

  • This song finds Miley relating a deteriorating relationship to the chapters of a book. "You might think I'm crazy... Maybe you're right," she belts, "This chapter's done."

    Many of Miley's fans interpreted the song as a glimpse into what went wrong in the singer's romance with the Australian actor Liam Hemsworth.
  • Maybe You're Right is one of seven tracks on the Bangerz album that were produced by Mike Will Made It, who also served as executive producer. The Atlanta producer made his name with rappers like 2 Chainz and Juicy J, but this record sees him making the transition into the pop world. "I've known about him because I listened to a lot of hip-hop," Cyrus said in her documentary Miley: The Movement. "I just fell in love with his beats and how young he was. No pop chicks are real messing with him like that."
  • One of the songwriters listed on this track is Camaron Ochs, who two years later became a popular country singer with her name shortened to Cam. When she came to Nashville from California in 2012, she focused on songwriting and got a big break when Miley Cyrus included this song on her 2013 album Bangerz. Cam released her major-label debut album, Untamed, in 2015 and landed a hit with the single "Burning House."
