Singer Miley Cyrus has spoken out about her hit song ‘Flowers’.
Miley released ‘Flowers’ on 12 January US time.
At that time, her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s home country of Australia was coincidentally on his birthday [13 January]. The lyrics of the song are a mirror image of the lyrics of Bruno Mars’ song ‘When I Was Your Man’, which Liam is said to have once dedicated to Miley, and rumours that the song might be a revenge song for her ex-husband Liam The song is a mirror image of the lyrics of “You were there”.

In a recent interview with British Vogue magazine, Miley said she is “allergic” to the idea that her latest album ‘Endless Summer Vacation’, which includes ‘Flowers’, is about her ex-husband, whom she divorced in 2020. The magazine notes that she feels “allergic” to the idea that the album is about her ex-husband, who she divorced in 2020.
‘You don’t have to be a master of the art of tricking listeners,’ Miley cut in, stating that ‘the piece should set itself on fire.’
While some fans can’t dismiss the idea that the song is about her ex-husband Liam, Miley has revealed that the lyrics to ‘Flowers’ were initially very different from what they are today.
‘I wrote that song in a really different way. The chorus was originally ‘I can buy flowers for myself. I can write my name in the sand. But I can’t love me like you do’. It was more like a 1950s kind of song. It was the saddest song. It was like, ‘I can love myself, but I’d much rather be loved by you’,” she revealed of the original lyrics.
In the actual released lyrics, Miley sings positively, “I can love myself more than you”, but the original lyrics emphasise the sadness of a broken heart more.
Miley says: “The song is a bit like ‘If you are what you want to be, act like you already are’. I love that’ and revealed that she loves the lyrics now.
‘Flowers’ has been embraced by listeners all over the world, and has shot to the top of the music charts. However, in a conversation with singer Lil Naz X, Miley said the commercial success was temporary.
‘Are you worried about the success of ‘Flowers’?’ Miley recalled when Lil asked her, “I said, ‘It might be number one now, but it will be number two in time’. It’s all like seasons. There’s been a lot of headlines recently saying, ‘This is Miley’s moment’ and I said, ‘That’s exactly right. It’s a moment and it’s over’. I’m not being pessimistic, it’s honest and for me it’s okay. In fact, I’m fine with it. I don’t like to keep being big’.
Miley added: ‘It wasn’t important to me to keep being big. It didn’t change anything,” she said. ‘Someone might say, “If you do this, you’ll get this number”, or “If you sell your soul, you’ll get this number”. I once ate a red apple in the Garden of Eden and it was never pleasant,’ he remarked. She believes that there is no need to seek too much fame.
Nowadays, Miley says she is actually living for herself rather than being an ‘attention seeker’. This seems to be related to her reported relationship with Max Moreland at the end of 2021. ‘We first dated without knowing each other,’ Miley recalled of her encounter with Max, ‘Well, I didn’t really know him, but it wasn’t like that for him. I thought, ‘worst case scenario, he can just go home from me’.”
Happy with her current life, Miley says: “I don’t want my story to be erased or erased. An interesting life makes for interesting storytelling’.
