Miley Cyrus shared the glam rock inspired cover art for the anticipated collaboration with Pharrell Williams ahead of the release of their new song Doctor (Work It Out) on Instagram on Tuesday.
The Flowers hitmaker, 31 – who took on a role in the lesbian road trip comedy titled Drive Away Dolls – tagged the Happy singer, 50, in the caption of the post.
The track – which was initially slated to be included on her 2013 Bangerz album – was heard playing at Louis Vuitton’s runway show during Paris Fashion Week last month, which was captured in a clip uploaded to X, formerly known as Twitter.
In the cover art, the songstress could be seen striking a pose while looking directly towards the camera.
Her voluminous locks flowed down around the star who donned a fuzzy, blue ensemble as well as flashy earrings.
Above the former Disney channel actress, the words ‘Pharrell Miley Doctor (Work It Out)’ were written in pink lettering.
The song was slated to appear on the Bangerz album in 2013 – which contained other hit tracks such as Wrecking Ball, We Can’t Stop and Drive.
However, the tune ended up being cut from the LP and a few years later in 2017, was leaked, according to Billboard.
Social media users jumped to the comment section to express their excitement over the collaboration, with one fan typing out, ‘she won 2 Grammys then said Let’s make it 3.’
Another added, ‘BANGERZ MILEY IS COMING BACK!!!’ while one wrote, ‘Finally DOCTOR is coming after 10 years.’
MTV’s Instagram account added, ‘i’m in the waiting room,’ while Williams simply commented an emoji of a stethoscope.
Pharrell also teased a portion of the single over the weekend when he uploaded a clip to his main Instagram page.

That same year, the record producer gushed about Cyrus while appearing on Elvis Duran And The Morning Show.
He stated during the interview that The Climb songstress ‘is my little sister and I ride forever for her.’
Pharrell also came to the defense of Miley while discussing growing up in the spotlight. ‘You’re just getting a slice of who she is, just a slice of her creativity.’
‘She is not in a box. The overarching theme to her personality is just big, and larger than life, and happy.’
Miley’s last single, Used To Be Young, was dropped last year in August 2023 – and appears on her album Endless Summer Vacation.
At the 2024 Grammy Awards earlier this month, the LP was notably nominated for Album of the Year as well as Best Pop Vocal Album.
During the ceremony, Cyrus won two Grammys – including Record of the Year and Best Pop Solo Performance for Flowers.
While preparing for the release of Doctor (Work On It), Cyrus has notably stepped back in front of camera and took on a surprise role in the film titled, Drive Away Dolls.
Miley’s last single, Used To Be Young, was dropped last year in August 2023 – and appears on her album Endless Summer Vacation; seen earlier this month at the 66th Grammy Awards in L.A.
In the movie – which officially was released earlier this month on February 23 – Miley portrayed the character of Tiffany Plastercaster.
Other stars that were cast in the project included Margaret Qualley, Geraldine Viswanathan, Matt Damon, Beanie Feldstein, Colman Domingo and Pedro Pascal.
The premise follows Qualley’s character, Jamie, who ‘regrets her breakup with her girlfriend, while Marian (Viswanathan) needs to relax.’
‘In search of a fresh start, they embark on an unexpected road trip to Tallahassee. Things quickly go awry when they cross paths with a group of inept criminals,’ per an official IMDB synopsis.
