"Imagine waking up and finding out the water that you have been drinking is poison, imagine the water giving you rashes and making you and your family sick," she said in a press release.

"This has been my reality for the past five years and it’s why I fight so hard for my community and especially the kids," she continues.

"Mother’s Daughter" is the lead single from Miley’s EP, "She Is Coming."

The EP is the first of three six-song EPs, all of which will make up one collection titled "She Is Miley Cyrus."
