Miley Cyrus Returning With New 'Malibu' Single Soon, Is Apparently Clean & Reformed

Miley Cyrus is back! But she's not the wild child, black culture-appropriating, Wayne Coyne-obsessed, weed-loving problem starter that we've come to known her as. The singer is now scrubbed clean of her unicorn dildo outfits and messy space buns, and seems to be returning to her down home country roots. Cyrus recently spoke to Billboard about what to expect from her musical comeback.

First off, the singer isn't smoking anymore. “I like to surround myself with people that make me want to get better, more evolved, open," she explains. "And I was noticing, it’s not the people that are stoned. I want to be super clear and sharp, because I know exactly where I want to be.” This new mindset will be reflected in her new single "Malibu," which is set for a May 11 release. She continued,

"When I want something, it’s fucking easy for me. But if anyone told me not to smoke, I would have not done it. It’s because it was on my time. I know exactly where I am right now. I know what I want this record to be. And not in the sense of manipulation—wanting something from my fans or the audience, like some slimy thing—'How do I get attention?' I never thought about that. Dude, I was shocked that people gave a fuck about the [MTV Video Music Awards in 2013, when she ­performed with Robin Thicke] -- the ­twerking, the teddy bear. It’s a totally ­different time, and I don’t think that would freak people out anymore."
