Miley Cyrus has released a cinematic music video for "Different Religion," a new single from her album *Bass Persuades*. Directed by Mert Alas, the visual features Cyrus in a desert landscape with fast cars and models, as she sings about treating a romantic interest as a deity. The song employs religious metaphors to explore intense romantic and sexual desire, with lyrics such as "I've got my own god, my god's a hot boy" and "I want to be saved by a different religion."

The video showcases gothic pop aesthetics with scenes in black and white and red-filtered lighting, featuring model Charlie Knepper and other models performing alongside Cyrus. *Bass Persuades* has achieved significant commercial success, becoming her first album to reach number one on the Billboard 200 chart since *Bangerz* in 2013. Rolling Stone's review characterised the track as exploring intense love through religious imagery, describing its "battering sound" and the way its lyrics convey raw emotional intensity.
