After going years without releasing new music, Miley Cyrus has finally come out with a new single called “Malibu” and its music video. This song is unexpected; it shows off her roots and makes us wonder, is the old Miley coming back? Growing up with classic Miley Cyrus songs like “The Climb” and “When I Look At You”, we can all appreciate the fact that she finally released another carefree, lighthearted song. This change in music style is the start of a new era, and is a refreshing switch from her previous bold and daring album, “Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz”.

Miley stated in an interview with Billboard, “what this song represents doesn’t necessarily mean Malibu. It means surround yourself with love and nature, and be happy, and be with who you love.” In the same interview, she stated that “Malibu” is about her fiance, Liam Hemsworth. Throughout the song, she sings about the appreciation and love she has for him and how her life has changed ever since being with him. Between the rock and country roots and the beautiful story behind the lyrics, it’s no lie that we can all get behind this song.

Miley will be releasing an entire album later this year, which will feature “Malibu”.
