Flowers
Plot twist: you were the one who could take care of you all along. 💐
Who it's for
The song reframes being alone after a breakup as capability instead of loss, which targets the fear that you can't be okay without the other person.
Feelings it meets
What it is
"Flowers" is the lead single from Miley Cyrus's 2023 album Endless Summer Vacation, written by Cyrus with Gregory 'Aldae' Hein and Michael Pollack and produced by Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson. It is a disco- and funk-influenced pop song about leaving a relationship behind and realising you don't need someone else to feel whole, with critics describing it as a song about self-reliance and self-love.
