"Slide Away" is a song by American singer Miley Cyrus. It was released as a single on August 16, 2019, by RCA Records.[2] It was written by Cyrus, Alma, and its producers Andrew Wyatt and Mike Will Made It.[3] The song's lyrics discuss the deterioration of a relationship, and are often likened to Cyrus' separation from ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.[4]

"Slide Away" received favorable reviews from music critics. It charted at number 47 on the US Billboard Hot 100. The accompanying music video was released on September 6, 2019.[5]

Originally planned to be the lead single of one of two remaining parts of Cyrus' scrapped 3-part project, the song was added to her previously released second extended play, She Is Coming, on the project's fourth anniversary.[6]
