It's been months since Miley Cyrus was harshly criticized for posing semi-closed in Vanity Fair magazine but the teen pop star says she is still "embarrassed" by the incident.

Miley Cyrus' decision to bare her back wrapping herself in a satin sheet for the photos, turned out to be a less than wise move in her career. However, the 15-year-old singer/actress, who is well aware that other girls her age see her as a role model, said she hopes her fans realize she's only human and her decisions aren't always smart.

"I was embarrassed," the 15-year-old "Hanna Montana" star confessed to Billboard magazine, "but also it's like, every career thing that I do can't be perfect, and sometimes my decisions are wrong. I think that just makes me even more relatable."

"I don't think people will look at me any differently, because they're like, 'You know what, I'm going to do stupid stuff too, and I'm going to make mistakes, and that's fine,'" she explained. "It still hurts when I think about it – but you know what, it doesn't mean that you can't move on."  

And speaking of moving on, Cyrus is certainly trying to do so, both in her life and career, with her first "grown-up" album, "Breakout," set for a July 22 release.

"I wrote all the songs except two. My last one, 'Meet Miley Cyrus,' was more just meeting me, finding out who I am, and here it's more getting in depth of what's been going on in my life in the past year," she said, explaining that she chose to write the songs herself this time around because she wants to be a "songwriter" and she's hopeful this fact will show.

Cyrus, who is currently shooting the third season of Disney's "Hannah Montana" as well as a "Hannah" movie in Tennessee, said she intends to quit the show by the time she turns 18.

"It will wrap up eventually. I mean, I won't be Hannah Montana by the time I'm 30. But we've only done two seasons, so we definitely want to work on that hopefully for another two years," she explained.
