"Malibu" is the second single by Hole from the Celebrity Skin LP and was written about Kurt Cobain's stay at a rehabilitation clinic in Malibu, California. It also includes "Drag," an outtake from Celebrity Skin which was replaced by "Malibu." The song was nominated for a Grammy Award[1] in the Best Rock Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal field, losing to Put Your Lights On by Santana. Billy Corgan of Smashing Pumpkins contributed to the composition for several Celebrity Skin tracks.
