Miley Cyrus has opened up about her relationship with Liam Hemsworth in her new single, Malibu.

Cyrus, 24, dropped the music video for the solo single which marks her first in nearly four years.

The four minute video sees the singer running along a beach with a bunch of balloons, and sitting in a wooded area with her hair in bunches.

The single is a nod to her rekindled romance with Hemsworth, with lyrics including: “I never would have believed you if three years ago I’d be here writing this song.”

Speaking to Billboard about the track she said: “[People are] going to talk about me if I come out of a restaurant with Liam. So why not put the power back in my relationship and say, ‘This is how I feel’?”

She said her “new start” with the actor was the inspiration behind the new track.

She said: “I needed to change so much, and changing with someone else not changing like that is too hard.

“Suddenly you’re like, ‘I don’t recognise you anymore’. We had to refall for each other.”

Fans praised the “beautiful” video and her “happier” appearance.

Katy Perry also threw her support behind the track, tweeting: “Love this! Sounds like you just pulled up to liberation station.”

Malibu is the first track from her upcoming sixth studio album which is slated for release later this year.
