Miley Cyrus revealed that she regrets her infamous "Wrecking Ball" video in a recent interview.

The singer didn't realize that the video would become a sensation, especially as a meme.

Miley Cyrus is embracing an entirely new side as she continues her very public transformation from music industry wild child into a much more toned-down version of herself. Turning her back on her hip hop beginnings with controversial comments was apparently only the beginning. Now, she s revealed why she regrets her infamous Wrecking Ball video.

It s kinda crazy that I ll always be known for licking a sledgehammer, the 24-year-old explained, according to ET, while promoting her new music on Long Island s "Cooper Lawrence" morning show. And while we can t deny that the sledgehammer thing was hella cheeky, we d have to say her ride on the giant wrecking ball back in 2013 was even more memorable and oh-so meme-worthy.

Either way, the video and the song is something that the singer would rather put behind her. When it comes to performing the tune itself, Cyrus told WKTU s "Cubby and Carolina Bermudez" radio show, I ll do it, but I don t love it.

Despite the star s own feelings, with almost 900 million views on YouTube, it doesn t look like Wrecking Ball will be forgotten any time soon.
