The INSIDER Summary:

• Miley Cyrus said when she and Liam Hemsworth broke up in 2013, he decided to get space from her and move to Malibu.
• Little did he know, he was moving into the house where she recorded her first album. 
• Now they live there together, and she released a single about their relationship and their time in the house called "Malibu."

Miley Cyrus's recent single "Malibu" is an ode to her beach bungalow with long-time love Liam Hemsworth. But the pair actually has a complicated history with their now-home. 

When Cyrus and Hemsworth notoriously broke up in 2013, Hemsworth wanted to get away from the singer and the life they built. So he began looking for a home in Malibu, away from the hustle and bustle of Los Angeles. 

But when he found a home he liked, it wasn't an escape from Cyrus at all. It was actually the house where she had recorded her first album, "Breakout," as Cyrus explained this week on Howard Stern's radio show. 

“The person hid all the plaques in the garage so he would still buy the house,” she told Stern. “So then he went to move in and he was like 'f---! I cannot get away. This b---- is all over my f------ house!'”

Things obviously worked out for the couple who have been back together for over a year. Now, Cyrus said, it's kind of poetic they ended up living in that house together, and that she wrote such an important song about it.
