On her social networks, the American singer thanked Spotify but also “his extraordinary fans”. The title Flowers is part of the star’s eighth album, titled Endless Summer Vacation, which will be released next March.
Call for self-love and independence
In this new song, Miley Cyrus talks about her relationship and her short marriage to the actor Chris Hemsworth. Above all, it is a call for self-love and regained independence after a breakup.
The single sounds a lot like a famous track from Bruno Mars, released more than ten years ago. Whether Flowers makes you want to dance, and When I was your man rather makes you want to cry, the two choruses are constructed in exactly the same way. In addition to the melody, which is very similar, the lyrics are almost identical.
But while Bruno Mars was singing for a woman, gone with another man:
I hope he buys you flowers (I hope he buys you flowers)
I hope he holds your hand (I hope he holds your hand)
Give you all his hours (May he give you all his time)
When he has the chance (As long as he has the chance)
Take you to every party (Let him take you to every party)
’Cause I remember how much you loved to dance (Cause I remember how much you love to dance)
Miley Cyrus says she doesn’t need a man to take care of her.
I can buy myself flowers (I can buy myself flowers)
Write my name in the sand (Write my name in the sand)
Talk to myself for hours (Talk to me for hours)
Say things you don’t understand (say things you don’t understand)
I can take myself dancing (I can take me dancing)
And I can hold my own hand (And I can hold my own hand)
Yeah, I can love me better than you can (Yes, I can love myself better than you can)
Coincidence of the calendar (or not), Flowers was released on January 13, the Australian actor’s birthday.
