Miley Cyrus dropped her iconic single “Flowers” on January 13, 2023, and almost immediately, everyone was out here reading into the lyrics...which was pretty inevitable considering Miley (1) announced the song three years after finalizing her divorce from Liam Hemsworth and (2) released the song on Liam’s birthday.
And in case you needed a reminder of how omg-worthy this ^^ all was, as soon as “Flowers” was out in the world, Twitter pretty much did this:
Plus, fans were q-u-i-c-k to realize some THINGS about the lyrics…like the fact that they might be a reference to a song Liam allegedly dedicated to Miley once:
Sadly, still no confirmation on whether this is true ^, but if it is…HER MIND.
Anyway, check out the full lyrics to “Flowers” (via Genius) below in case you want to scream-sing along in the shower, etc., etc.
We were good, we were gold
Kind of dream that can’t be sold
We were right till we weren’t
Built a home and watched it burn
Mmm, I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna lie
Started to cry, but then remembered I
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
Paint my nails cherry-red
Match the roses that you left
No remorse, no regret
I forget every word you said
Ooh, I didn’t wanna leave, baby, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers
Write my name in sand
Talk to myself for hours, yeah
Say things you don’t understand
I can take myself dancing, yeah
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
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, ooh, I
I didn’t wanna leave you, I didn’t wanna fight
Started to cry, but then remembered I
I can buy myself flowers (uh-huh)
Write my name in the sand (ooh, mmm)
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don’t understand (better than you)
I can take myself dancing (yeah)
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (uh)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby (than you can)
Can love me better, I can love me better, baby
Can love me better, I
