Background

The title refers to American singer Miley Cyrus and her twerking incident when in March 2013, she posted a video on Facebook which featured her performing a twerking routine while wearing a unicorn suit, to the 2011 single "Wop" by J. Dash. Her "Wop" video would go to become viral and create a lot of controversy and parodies.

The song lyrics refers to this actual video as Brandon Beal asks from his girl to behave like Miley in that video: "I know, you wore them jeans so I can see that thong [repeat] / So pop it like Miley / and don't forget that tongue [repeat] / So when the beat beat beat beat drop, get your ass on the floor / Start twerking like Miley".
