For most, July means #SummerFriday, rooftop happy hours, long weekends at the beach. When Noah Cyrus dropped her new single, named after the hottest month on record, all of the above was the last thing on her mind.

“I wrote this about a time when I felt like I amounted to nothing to someone and never felt good enough for them,” she shared in a message on YouTube. “I stayed in fear of the heartbreak though my heart was already in a million pieces.”

Cyrus stopped by ELLE.com to share the single, and lighten the mood with a game of #SongAssociation. Tune in to our latest episode of the Internet’s favorite game to see her sing Calvin Harris, The Weeknd, and “July.”
