The song was inspired by her long-distance relationship with Guy Ritchie.
Quote:
["Miles Away" is] a song most people who work can relate to. If part of your work is travelling, and the person you are with also works and travels, you find yourself separated a lot and it can be very frustrating, [...] I'm American and he [Ritchie] is British, and I have to come to America all the time. [...] Especially at the beginning of our relationship, that long-distance thing was very frustrating. I also think it's easier for people to say things from a distance; it's safer.

It was released as the third single off Hard Candy, and it basically flopped everywhere, with the exception of some countries. In the US it didn't even chart on the Hot 100.
She performed it live at the Sticky & Sweet Tour, and the video just features some of these performances and stuff from the tour. Really lazy.
I like the song though, and gave it an 8. It has a really captivating melody.
