The 2013 video featured Cyrus licking a sledgehammer while swinging on a wrecking ball naked.
"I should be grateful every ... day for that song, and I am," Cyrus, 24, said in an interview to NME Magazine.
"I think people look at things that they've done and there is this sense of shame, or 'I wish I wouldn't have done that' not because I'm naked, by the way. It's because I feel like I'm in a deeper songwriting place."
"Lyrically, I'm less impressed with that song right now. I feel like it doesn't reflect who I am now, but that's fine because it's not supposed to. I'm sure I'll say the same thing about this record at some point."
Cyrus' new album "Younger Now" is out on September 29.
