Miley Cyrus premieres new festive-themed song

Hot on the heels of LCD Soundsystem's new anti-festive track, Miley Cyrus has provided her own take on the typically cheery fare available to listen to this time of year and shared a new song entitled 'My Sad Christmas Song' with her fans.

Cyrus spent a large part of Christmas Eve (December 24) teasing the song on her social media accounts before officially making the song available to hear later that day.

The singer recorded the song with American rock band The Flaming Lips, whose lead singer and guitarist Wayne Coyne has been documenting the process on Instagram.

The new track comes a few weeks after Cyrus starred in the bizarre and NSFW video for 'BB Talk', taken from her recent album Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz.

Meanwhile, Elton John has recently praised Miley for her choice of collaborators - including The Flaming Lips - calling it "f**king brilliant".
