The heartfelt ballad “Karen Don’t Be Sad” is strongly influenced by Miley’s co-writer Wayne Coyne, leader of The Flaming Lips. The sweeping production and soaring melody is reminiscent of The Lips' 2002 hit “Do You Realize?”

[Verse 1]
Oh, Karen
You take it all too hard
You been talking to those fools again
And they'll tear your world apart, mmm
Oh, Karen
You gotta try to understand
Gotta hold on to your soul
'Cause they'll crush it if they can
[Chorus]
So, Karen don't be sad
They're just a bunch of fools
And you can make them powerless
Don't let them make the rules
So, Karen don't be sad
You know the truth is true
The world can still be beautiful
That part's up to you
So, Karen don't be sad
[Verse 2]
Oh, Karen
You know you're only letting 'em win
By letting all their lies and hate destroy you from within-in
Oh, Karen
They've taken away your smile
But you can give it back to us
Just fake it for a little while
[Chorus]
So, Karen don't be sad
They're just a bunch of fools
And you can make them powerless
Don't let them make the rules
So, Karen don't be sad
You know the truth is true
The world can still be beautiful
That part's up to you
So, Karen don't be sad
[Outro]
So, Karen don't be sad
Don't let 'em win
Oh, don't let 'em win
Don't let them win
Don't let them win
Oh, don't let them win
Oh, don't let them win
Don't let them win
