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 didnât know whether to expect heartbreak, chaos, or a full-blown genre war. What they got was all three â and more.
Titled âLove Is Poison,â 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.
𧨠The Lyrics: Brutal Honesty Meets Broken Melody

Watch the video down below and donât forget to share this beautiful song with your friends and familyâŚ
The track opens with Miley whispering over eerie strings and pulsing synths:
âYou were the fire I drank like wine,
But love like yours donât age like timeâŚâ
Then Eminem crashes in â intense, rapid, and personal:
âYou loved like a loaded gun under my chin,
Kissed me with lies then asked how Iâve been.
Now I sleep with ghosts that wear your name,
Love was the needle â now Iâm numb from the flame.â
The chorus hits like a wall of emotion:
Miley:
âLove is poison, sweet on the lips /
Kills you slow with every kiss /
Told me forever, then slipped out the door /
Now Iâm not yours, but Iâm not mine anymore.â
đĽ The Music Video: Dark, Cinematic, Devastating
The video â directed by The Weekndâs frequent collaborator â 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 â until the very end, when they pass each other in silence, barely locking eyes, as the final chorus fades into silence.
đŹ The Reaction: Viral, Emotional, and Explosive

Rolling Stone: âAn artistic risk that pays off in raw, emotional dividends.â
Pitchfork: âA brutal takedown of toxic love. This isnât a duet â itâs a duel.â
Fans on X (formerly Twitter): âMileyâs vocals + Emâs pain = perfection.â
#LoveIsPoison trended for days, with over 20 million streams in its first 48 hours.
đĽ Behind the Scenes: An Unexpected Bond
Eminem told Apple Music:
âMiley doesnât fake emotion. Thatâs why I wanted her. Weâve both survived stuff. Thatâs what this track is â survival disguised as heartbreak.â
Miley added:
âPeople think weâre opposites. But when it comes to pain? We speak the same language.â
âLove Is Poisonâ is more than just a song â itâs a confession set to music. Itâs what happens when two scarred voices collide, not to destroy each other⌠but to tell the truth.
