《End of the World》作为专辑《Something Beautiful》的主打单曲，是麦莉参与制作，写给妈妈的歌。这首歌以假设世界末日为背景，构建出一个末日乌托邦乐园，用最后的时间去爱，因末日阴霾才更懂得活在当下的真谛。
Alright, this song I wrote for the woman sitting next to the man that I don't know —— David Letterman.
This is for my mom.
Today, you woke up and you told me (it gets me eveytime) that you wanted to cry
The sky was falling like a comet on the Fourth of July
You've been thinking 'bout the future
Let's pretend it's the end of the world
Let's spend the dollars you've been saving on a Mercedes Benz
And throw a party like McCartney with some help from our friends
Yeah, let's go down to Malibu and watch the sun fade out once more
So you can show me how you'd hold me if tomorrow (was coming for sure) it's the saddest thing
