Flowers has been described as a classic empowering break-up song
“I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand,” Cyrus says in the track. “I can take myself dancing, and I can hold my own hand."
It has drawn comparisons with Bruno Mars song When I Was Your Man.
In the track, Cyrus' fans have identified several clues about her ex-husband, Australian actor Liam Hemsworth. There is speculation that the song video was shot in a mansion where Hemsworth allegedly cheated on her with multiple women.
Cyrus shot to fame with the 2006 Disney channel sitcom Hannah Montana, in which she played a teenager leading a double life as a popstar and a regular school student.
Since then, she has released several hit songs, including Party in the USA and Wrecking Ball.
She also appeared in romantic-drama film The Last Song alongside Hemsworth in 2010.
