Background and release According to Florrie, "Malibu (Falling Over the Edge)" explores themes of “friendship, obsession, and that feeling of wanting to be around someone all the time". She described the song a "big sister" to her 2010 debut single "Call 911" and her 2011 single "I Took A Little Something" explaining that "Malibu" is "a song full of nostalgia" about a "really magical time" of her life when she was "young, carefree and still figuring out things out."
