“My Little Girl” was also featured in McGraw’s movie Flicka, in which his daughter in the movie tries to prove to her father that she is worthy of running the family ranch one day, and although it is hard for him, he sees her accomplishing great things and achieving her goals.The song itself is a ballad, which reinforces the feeling of reminiscing the past, but the driving tempo shows the moving and hopefulness of time. He encourages his daughter to go out to “chase her dreams” and to “take on this world”, and no matter what happens, she will always be his little girl. He will always see her as his little girl, even though she grew up to be a young woman. The narrator tells his daughter that she’s his “little girl”. Once you are older there are more responsibilities and less time to be young and free.
#Songs about growing up fast cracked#
As glorious as growing up looks, it’s not all that it is cracked up to be. Trace Adkins sings the song as a soft ballad trying to remind whoever is listening to take the most out of each moment because if they don’t they’re going to miss all the little things from life. Instead, he advises her to not wish to grow up too fast because life passes by and she’ll once regret and wish to go back in time. Here, as much as he notices his daughter is changing, he isn’t trying to stop her or time. Her father warns her to slow things down and not rush into things because she’s going to “miss this” and “wish these days hadn’t gone by so fast these are some good times”. The daughter in the song is counting down the hours until she can be older and do things like drive a car, and once she’s married she wants to hurry and have children. Billy’s character both in the show and song, is just a dad who has the best intentions for his daughter, but at the same time it pains him to see her grow into her own person when he still sees her as his little girl that once depended on him. As a duet, the lyrics become more of a conversation between Miley justifying her leaving, while Billy shares his insecurities of her growing up and moving on. The song gained a lot of popularity as a duet between the father and daughter. The song was originally a solo sung by Billy Ray Cyrus, and also performed on a Hannah Montana episode where Miley’s character is trying to go to a performance without her dad, and he feels like she is too young.
The chorus states “Get ready, set, don’t go”, and even though he is still telling her to get ready and go out and conquer the world he does not want her to go. He tells her it’s alright, but hides the truth from her through the chorus. Ironically, many parents tell their kids “Get ready, set, go” as a starting line for games, but when it comes time to them going away it’s no longer okay. As much as he understands that his daughter needs to be able to go on and accomplish her dreams and “hit that open road”, he is having a hard time giving her the green light. Get Ready, Set, Don’t Go- Billy Ray Cyrusīilly Ray Cyrus, is realizing that it’s time for his real-life and onscreen daughter, Miley, to “do what she’s gotta do” and “spread her wings”. Below are some songs that are sure to get you in your feels as soon as you realize what your parents may be feeling when you start to go off and be independent. But, they quickly regret that when they see you no longer need them for both the little and big things in life. Sometimes when you are younger, the thought of you growing may seem appealing to your parents, especially when you are small and make a lot of noise, mess, and require a lot of attention (kind of like Kim Kardashian). And even though it’s a cycle that everyone goes through and people leave families, sometimes parents are hesitant in accepting those choices in a heartbeat. And as you grow up, sometimes you have to be like Miley Cyrus and chop your childhood into tiny little pieces and bury them in your backyard, with the certainty that those memories will always be there.
You may see them as your “birth givers” on both your phone and in life, but they are also there to guide you through life as you grow up. Parents are there for you since day one and are there to support you, wipe your nose, be your wallet, your shoulder to cry on, or anything else you may need.
