Miley Cyrus unveiled her spritely new pop-rock sound with “Malibu,” the first offering from her as-yet-untitled LP, which is expected to arrive later this year.

The stripped-down song boasts a plucky guitar vamp and steady thumping drums that buoy Cyrus’ simple vocals and lovestruck lyrics. “I never would’ve believed you if three years ago you told me,” she sings. “I’d be here writing this song/ But here I am, next to you/ The sky’s more blue in Malibu.” Cyrus also shared a video for “Malibu,” in which she performs the song and dances along the beach and other sunny locales.
