2023 begins under the sign of the “songs of revenge”, or rather those songs that contain veiled or unveiled excavations, often aimed at ex-boyfriends. It is the case Shakirawho hit ex-partner Piqué after his betrayal.
So he decided to even bring his voice to one of the undisputed queens of modern pop, Miley Cyrus. With a scratchy voice and sharp lyrics, she wanted to send a message to her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth and all women. the song is Flowerwhich has already become a hit.
Flowers, Miley Cyrus responds to Liam Hemsworth
Miley Cyrus’ new single leaves little doubt: she still had something to say to her Ex-husband Liam Hemsworth, and how. Worth a film, Flowers’ video tells a story of rebirth through certain stylistic elements dear to cinema. The lyrics are a hymn to all women who are constantly sold an idea of incompleteness in the absence of a man or, more generally, a partner.
Understanding that you can love yourself, but more importantly that this is the starting point for a healthy relationship is the foundation of this song. “I can buy myself flowers (…) I can make myself dance (…) I can love myself better than you”.
Carefully chosen words, together with a melody that certainly did not leave indifferent longtime fans of the now ex Hannah Montana. From them comes the in-depth analysis of the singer’s intentions.
Let’s start off by saying that Flowers came out on January 13th, Liam Hemsworth’s birthday. That tune we mentioned is an obvious reference to When I was your man by Bruno Marswhich the ex-husband had apparently dedicated to her.
In this song we read the suffering of a man who lost the woman he loved because he took her for granted. In the lyrics there are phrases like: “I should have bought you flowers and held your hand (…) I should have taken you to every party because I remember how much I loved to dance”. Well, there couldn’t have been a clearer answer.
Flowers, text and translation
We were good, we were gold
A kind of dream that cannot be sold
We were right until we weren’t
Built a house and watched it burn
Mmm, I didn’t want to leave you, I didn’t want to lie
Started crying, but then I remembered
I can buy flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours
Say things you don’t understand
I can make myself dance
And I can hold my own hand
Yes, I can love myself better than you
Can love me better, can love me better baby
Can love me better, can love me better baby
Paint my nails cherry red
Match the roses you left behind
No regrets, no regrets
I forgive every word you said
Ooh I didn’t wanna leave you baby I didn’t wanna fight
Started crying, but then I remembered
I can buy flowers
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours, yes
Say things you don’t understand
I can make myself dance, yes
I can hold my own hand
Yes, I can love myself better than you
Can love me better, can love me better baby
Can love me better, can love me better baby
Can love me better, can love me better baby
Can love me better, I (Ooh, I)
I didn’t want to leave you, I didn’t want to fight
Started crying, but then I remembered
I can buy me flowers (Uh-huh)
Write my name in the sand
Talk to myself for hours (Yeah)
Say things you don’t understand (better than you)
I can make myself dance (Yeah)
I can hold my own hand
Yes, I can love myself better than
Yes, I can love myself better than you
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, can love me better baby
Can love me better I

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth: Why they broke up
It’s been a while since Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth divorced, since she was 16 years old. A great love that sadly ended in August 2019. Everything became official in early 2020, and this year the singer decided to tell her story.
The two had met on the set of The Last Song, nine years before their wedding, which came shortly after a traumatic event: their Malibu home caught fire. Miley Cyrus lost everything in that fire, which she says hit her so hard it changed her voice forever.
She was on the other side of the world in South Africa, completely helpless. He lost memories, songs, photos and more: “So instead of accepting that nature was pushing me to let go of certain things, I was trying to put it all back together. I ran to the fire and held on to the remains of this house, me and him. I loved him very much and will always love him, but there have been too many conflicts and when I come home I want to feel good with someone. I’m not coming back for the drama and to fight.”
