We talk a lot about Miley Cyrus' hair, Twitter, fiancé and dogs, but at the end of the day, she's a singer.

In her newest backyard video, premiering exclusively on E! Online courtesy of MileyCyrus.com, the 19-year-old sings an impassioned cover of Melanie Safka's "Look What They've Done to My Song."

In the acoustic clip, Miley is accompanied by two guitarists as she delivers a soulful performance. "Well, if the people are buying tears/ I'll be rich someday, Ma," she croons. "Look what they've done to my song."

It's nice to see Miley girl (and her topknot—RIP) back to doing what she does best. She told E! News last month she'd have a new single "out this year" and the new album she's working on is "my favorite thing I've done, probably ever."
