Liam had a hand in helping Miley with the songwriting process, too. In an interview with Billboard magazine published last week, the singer revealed that “Malibu” is love track inspired by her on-again love. 

“They’re going to talk about me if I come out of a restaurant with Liam,” she told the music mag. “So why not put the power back in my relationship and say, ‘This is how I feel’?”

“Malibu” is set to drop on Thursday.

The 2017 Billboard Music Awards air live from the T-Mobile arena in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 21 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT on ABC.
