Miley Cyrus says that she and her country-star father Billie Ray Cyrus have "wildly different" experiences of fame because of their upbringing.

In a new TikTok series inspired by her latest single, "Used to Be Young," Cyrus opened up about her relationship with her dad, who had the number one song on the"Top 100 Country Songs" list in 1992 — the year she was born.

"My dad grew up the opposite of me. So I think that's where me and my dad's relationship to fame and success is wildly different," the singer said in the video. "Him feeling loved by a big audience impacted him emotionally more than it ever could me."

The former "Hannah Montana" Disney Channel actor explained that she has "always been made to feel like a star," whereas for her dad, "it's like healing a childhood wound."

"It makes me emotional," Cyrus added.

The 30-year-old singer then shared how her father influenced the way she thought about music.

"I do have a lot of great memories singing music with my dad, and learning and absorbing, and I think I can see my wheels turning in watching his voice and the way that he's using the instrument," Cyrus said. "I will say that I feel, vocally, my dad was underappreciated."

In another clip, Cyrus watches an old video about Billie Ray talking about her as a child.

"When I found out I was going to have a little girl, I just felt very deep inside my intuition that it was going to be this little girl's destiny to bring a lot of hope to the world," her father said. "She loves to dance, and the more people clap for her, the more she'll dance."

Her parents even named her Destiny Hope when she was born, although she legally changed her name to Miley in 2008.

In response to her father's comments, Cyrus says that she appreciates that the things he had hoped for her before she was born came true.

"I'm just grateful that that was projected in the universe before I even could fathom what that meant," she added. "There's gratitude for that being the energy that was attached to my vessel because it became a reality.

Cyrus' video series comes amid speculations of a family rift, following her parents' separation last year. Over the weekend, her siblings Noah and Braison were absent from their mother Tish's wedding to Dominic Purcell.
