Miley Cyrus Flowers Lyrics Meaning

Flowers offers a trajectory into the divorce of Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth- one which she said she wished she could have saved. Unfortunately, it takes two to tango and it looked like Liam wasn’t willing to tango with her anymore.

Taking note of that, Miley states in her new song that she could buy herself flowers and talk to herself for hours. It sounds a little scary but the bottom line is that she loves herself more than he ever loved her and that is the most important thing.

It is crucial to note that the Flowers are just a metaphorical representation of the forms of love language she would have loved to receive from Liam, but didn’t. Hence, she says she doesn’t mind doing those things for herself

Miley Cyrus Flowers Lyrics Meaning {Verse 1}

We were good, we were gold
Kinda dream that can’t be sold
We were right till we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn

I didn’t wanna leave you
I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry but then remembered I

Throughout the track, Miley reminisces on moments she had with her ex-lover Liam Hemsworth. The pair met on The Last Song and dated since their youth ages.

The couple had a stable relationship but continued to break up and get back together. They lasted under a year being married before officially ending it in 2019.

Miley seems to be telling herself that she is better off alone without her ex-lover whenever she recalls their toxic relationship.

Miley Cyrus Flowers lyrics meaning is further buttressed According to reports from TMZ, Miley intended to work on their relationship while fighting for their marriage one last time but it unfortunately, landed on deaf ears, after Hemsworth abruptly filed for a divorce a week later. She later on, revealed why she had to come to terms with what happened:

There was too much conflict. When I come home, I want to be anchored by someone. I don’t get off on drama or fighting.

Miley Cyrus Flowers Lyrics Meaning {Chorus}

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing
And I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby

Miley Cyrus Flowers lyrics meaning based on the chorus is speculated to be a response to Bruno Mars’ January 2013 track “When I Was Your Man,” which covers someone lamenting over a break up:

I should’ve bought you flowers
And held your hand
Shoulda gave you all my hours
When I had the chance
Take you to every party
‘Cause all you wanted to do was dance

This interpolation likely stems from Cyrus splitting from her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, whom she started dating in 2009 and sparked a on-and-off-again relationship for several years until 2019. After two engagements, the couple got married in 2018 but separated the following year. Their divorce concreted in February 2020.

Fans saw the similarity in the lyrics as they noted that Hemsworth once dedicated Mars’ song to Cyrus in 2013.

“Flowers”—which was released on Liam’s birthday—mirrors Bruno’s lyrics, which affirms that she’s fulfilled on her own and has learned to love herself, all while slamming her ex-partner.

After her divorce, Cyrus was rumored to have a fling with Andrew Watt, who’s a producer for her previous November 2020 album Plastic Hearts, possibly making this track to be directed at him instead of Hemsworth, or even perhaps both men.

Flowers Lyrics Meaning by Miley Cyrus {Verse 2}

I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand

Can love me better
I can love me better, baby

Can love me better
I can love me better, baby
Can love me better
I can love me better, baby (Than you can)

Miley Cyrus is perhaps implying that she can handle love on her own – even without her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, whom she was attached to, despite having a continuous on-and-off relationship.

This can somehow be proved in her first teaser of the single, she’s seen walking with pride in the hills to these lyrics – possibly where she use to live with Liam, suggesting that she’s chosen to indulge in self-love and forget the nostalgic paths with him.

Even though this new single is a musical departure from Miley’s previous pop-rock era in 2020, she has been dealing with her divorce in her previous record on songs such as Angels Like You, Never be Me and Hate Me, in which she expresses the same lack of regrets.
