The new song “Flowers” By Miley Cyrus dropped on January 13 and hit #1 on the Billboard charts in its first week. 

“Flowers” By Miley Cyrus is pointed directly to her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth. Cyrus came out with her new song the day of his birthday. She co-wrote the song with Michael Pollack and Gregory “Aldae” Hein. “Flowers” is a classic, disco-style, self-love song. For Cyrus the song serves as a reminder of her own value and the kind of love she needs. She wrote the script for the video, Jacob Bixenman directed it, and Stephen Galloway was the creative director. She reflects on courage and self-love in the song, stating that she “started to cry” but then realized she could “buy myself flowers” and “write my name in the sand” before singing, “I can love me better than you can.”

The song hit 59.8 million streams by the end of January, and many people have the song on repeat because they can relate to a heartbroken, self-loving song. The song is very catchy and the beat as well is poppy and trendy. The thing most people love about the song is the lyrics, they relate and make single people feel empowered, as they can write their name in the sand, rather than having a significant other do it for them. “Flowers” is starting to get overplayed as it can be heard almost everywhere – Tik Tok, Instagram, etc. Overall, “Flowers” by Miley Cyrus is a song audiences will listen to – but not for long.
