Miley Cyrus, who’s endured a couple of difficult weeks since her parents ended their 17-year marriage, will perform the sappy-but-perhaps-apt “Forgiveness And Love” on the American Music Awards tonight, according to early reports on the show. She may not have drawn many nominations, but there’s a strong chance she’ll come away with one of the night’s most talked about performances. Hear the bluesy tune below.

If Miley is still searching for a hit, is this it?
