Global superstar, Miley Cyrus releases her new single and music video for “Malibu” which is the first single off of Cyrus’ forthcoming album due for release later this year.

The breezy pop-rock “Malibu” boasts a plucky guitar vamp and steady thumping drums that buoy Cyrus’ simple vocals and lovestruck lyrics. In the beach-themed video Miley smiles, dances in the sand and hugs her dog Emu. The video is directed by Miley Cyrus and Diane Martel.

While the entire song is clearly an ode to her fiancé, Liam Hemsworth and their rekindled relationship, the final verses of the gentle, poppy love song are what seem to be most indicative of not only her revived romance, but also her new outlook on her life and her music.
