Bret Michaels says he has nothing to apologize for about “Nothin’ to Lose,” his new song featuring Miley Cyrus thats been causing a bit of controversy with the “Hannah Montana” star singing about ‘slowly get undressed’ and ‘falling on top of your lover.’ In an interview with “Us Magazine,” Michaels says he was shocked by some of the comments he’s received, never really thinking about the lyrics themselves and had no idea people would make such a big deal out of the song.

“I was like, ‘What the f*ck is going on?’ Everyone’s going nuts! It’s blown out of proportion,” insists the father of two girls (Raine, 9, and Jorja, 4). “I never sat down and said, ‘Look at the content. Look at the lyrical content,’” Michaels admits. “The part where it says she slowly gets undressed, Miley says, ‘Yeah she does.’ It has no reference to her and I. It’s not even a duet.”

The song, which he said he wrote and recorded a couple of year ago without Cyrus, got her attention while they were recording her cover of his song “Every Rose Has Its Thorn” for her next album. Michaels said Cyrus’ mother was with them in a New York recording studio when he played “Nothin’ to Lose” during a break.

“[Miley's] like, ‘This is an incredible song, it’s beautiful. Maybe I could some stuff to it, some harmonies,’” Michaels recounts. “I said, ‘That’d be killer!’” The next thing they knew, the unlikely pair were recording “Nothin’” together. “She was excited that she didn’t have to follow any rules,” he says of their impromptu jam session. “As God is my witness, there is nothing I have to be defensive about,” he says. “I’m a good Dad. I just thought it was a beautiful song. “

Maybe the two should have waited another year before jumping in the studio for this one. This is probably just a publicity stunt on his end because most people wouldn’t have listened to this song if there wasn’t all this controversy! Scandal or no scandal, the song will appear on his next album due out in May.
