=2019–present: Independent artist and ''Had, Lost''=

In July 2020, Cyrus released "I'm Sorry", his first single as an independent artist.

On 5 November 2021, Cyrus released the EP Had, Lost. Of the EP, Cyrus said: "I see this EP as a new refreshed, refined project. It’s the first batch of music that I'm releasing that I've fully written and produced. I'm just so much more self-aware now both personally and creatively — [Previously], I was thrown into the deep end and a lot happened quicker than I realised. I just sat in the passenger seat, whereas now everything I do is deliberate and much more thought out".{{cite web|url=https://air.org.au/2021/11/10/feature-cyrus-had-lost/|title= Feature: Cyrus – had, lost|website=Australian Independent Record Labels Association|date=10 November 2021|access-date=15 November 2021}}

Personal life

Villanueva is of paternal Filipino and maternal Australian descent and comes from a musical family; his father is a retired professional entertainer. His father, Isagani Villanueva, is from Cotabato City, Philippines, and his mother, Tracie Villanueva, is Australian. Cyrus was inspired to sing by his father who is a professional singer. Prior to entering The X Factor, Villanueva was studying graphic design at the University of Wollongong and performing gigs in bars, cafés and at weddings during his spare time.
