Younger Now is also the title of Cyrus' new album, which is set to release on Sept. 29.
"Miley really leaned into her roots with this new album, 'Malibu' in particular," Billy Ray Cyrus recently told ET. "I mean, the sounds that were roaring out of our house and the people that were coming through our house as great songwriters -- Carl Perkins and Waylon, Hank Cochran, some of the greatest songwriters in the world. Ed King, who wrote 'Sweet Home Alabama,' was frequently at the house…"
"I think Miley absorbed a lot of those sounds and a lot of that conversation," he continued. "It becomes part of who you are."
