A bold, chilling duet that hits like a punch to the gut and a whisper to the heart—“Love Is Poison” isn’t just a song, it’s a storm. When Eminem and Miley Cyrus announced they were teaming up, fans braced for anything: heartbreak, chaos, maybe even a musical clash. What they got was all of it—and then some. Eminem spits some of his darkest verses in years, raw and razor-sharp, while Miley’s voice cuts through with a smoky, aching chorus that feels like a cry she’s been holding in forever. It’s not just a track—it’s survival set to music. “People think we’re opposites,” Em said. “But when it comes to pain? We speak the same language.”
A Bold, Haunting Duet That Blends Fire and Fury Into One Unforgettable Track
When Eminem and Miley Cyrus announced their collaboration in early 2025, fans didn’t know whether to expect heartbreak, chaos, or a full-blown genre war. What they got was all three — and more.
Titled “Love Is Poison,” the track is a raw, genre-bending anthem of heartbreak, betrayal, and survival. Eminem delivers some of his darkest verses in years, while Miley brings a raspy, emotionally charged chorus that soars through the pain like a scream held in too long.
🧨 The Lyrics: Brutal Honesty Meets Broken Melody

The track opens with Miley whispering over eerie strings and pulsing synths:
“You were the fire I drank like wine,
But love like yours don’t age like time…”
Then Eminem crashes in — intense, rapid, and personal:
“You loved like a loaded gun under my chin,
Kissed me with lies then asked how I’ve been.
Now I sleep with ghosts that wear your name,
Love was the needle — now I’m numb from the flame.”
The chorus hits like a wall of emotion:
Miley:
“Love is poison, sweet on the lips /
Kills you slow with every kiss /
Told me forever, then slipped out the door /
Now I’m not yours, but I’m not mine anymore.”
🔥 The Music Video: Dark, Cinematic, Devastating
The video — directed by The Weeknd’s frequent collaborator — is a visual fever dream: flashing red motel lights, broken mirrors, slow-motion fights in the rain. Eminem paces in a burned-out room full of lyrics scrawled on the walls, while Miley, dressed in white and soaked in ink, sings from a flooded chapel.
Their scenes never quite overlap — until the very end, when they pass each other in silence, barely locking eyes, as the final chorus fades into silence.
💬 The Reaction: Viral, Emotional, and Explosive
Rolling Stone: “An artistic risk that pays off in raw, emotional dividends.”
Pitchfork: “A brutal takedown of toxic love. This isn’t a duet — it’s a duel.”
Fans on X (formerly Twitter): “Miley’s vocals + Em’s pain = perfection.”
#LoveIsPoison trended for days, with over 20 million streams in its first 48 hours.
👥 Behind the Scenes: An Unexpected Bond
Eminem told Apple Music:
“Miley doesn’t fake emotion. That’s why I wanted her. We’ve both survived stuff. That’s what this track is — survival disguised as heartbreak.”
Miley added:
“People think we’re opposites. But when it comes to pain? We speak the same language.”
“Love Is Poison” is more than just a song — it’s a confession set to music. It’s what happens when two scarred voices collide, not to destroy each other… but to tell the truth.
