"I try to not work too many Sundays. At least on Sunday nights, I try to chill out a little bit. I call it Sunday Funday"
About this Quote
Miley Cyrus turns self-care into a catchphrase, but the line isn’t really about leisure; it’s about control. “I try to not work too many Sundays” lands like a modest, almost sheepish confession, the kind that acknowledges how abnormal her baseline is. For most people, avoiding Sunday work is default behavior. For a pop star, it’s an aspiration, negotiated in scraps of time. That gap is the subtext: celebrity doesn’t erase labor, it expands it into a 24/7 identity where downtime has to be defended like territory.
The careful hedging matters. “I try,” “too many,” “at least,” “a little bit” - she’s not declaring a hard boundary so much as describing a truce with a schedule that’s bigger than her. Then she flips it with “Sunday Funday,” a piece of bubbly internet-era branding that makes rest feel permissible because it’s performative. Calling relaxation a thing you can name and market is pure Cyrus: she understands that in pop culture, even recovery needs a hook.
The context is a long-running cultural shift where hustle is treated as virtue and burnout as proof you did it right. Cyrus’s wink is that she knows the game and still tries to carve out a human rhythm inside it. “Sunday Funday” reads light, but it’s a small act of resistance: the insistence that she’s allowed to clock out, even if she has to package it like content to make it stick.
