Why Miley Cyrus’ New Song Flowers Has Everyone In Arms: Single Is Very Similar To Another Song By A Very Famous Artist As She Slams Ex-Husband Liam Hemsworth
Miley Cyrus’ new song, Flowers, has caused a sensation thanks to the numerous references to her ex-husband, actor Liam Hemsworth.
But the song also features a nod to another very famous star.
The chorus samples Bruno Mars’ 2012 hit “When I Was Your Man,” which Liam reportedly once dedicated to Miley.
Miley Cyrus’ new song, Flowers, has caused a sensation thanks to its numerous references to her ex-husband, actor Liam Hemsworth.
The chorus samples Bruno Mars’ 2012 hit ‘When I Was Your Man,’ which Liam once dedicated to Miley.
The original song, about regret after losing a romantic partner, has lyrics that include: “I should have bought you flowers and held your hand / I should have given you all my hours when I had the chance / Take you to every party because everyone you wanted to do was dance.
Flipping the script, Miley sings, “I can take myself dancing / And I can hold my own hand / Yeah, I can love myself better than you” to the tune of the Mars hit.
‘I can take myself dancing’ likely refers to an infamous red carpet moment when Liam visibly cringed at Miley’s twerking.
Miley dropped the racy music video for her new single Flowers on Thursday, which just so happens to be her ex-husband Hemsworth’s 33rd birthday.

Pictures from February 2019 show the tension between then-newlyweds Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth.
In the pictures, Miley twerked in front of Liam during their joint interview with Access.
The Hunger Games actor quickly backed away from his girlfriend while looking awkward.
‘Do not do it. Don’t do it,’ she begged. You’re scaring everyone on the mat.
Miley then stopped, before looking awkwardly at the camera.
When a reporter asked her ‘How is a dance number between the two of you? Liam said: ‘No, no, we’re not going to do this. Not on the carpet.
Liam could be seen wearing his wedding ring in the video, which was shot just six months before the A-list couple filed for divorce.
Another video from April of the same year showed deepening tensions between the couple as 2019 progressed. At the Avengers: Endgame premiere, Miley tried to pose seductively while Liam clung to her waist.
Miley got engaged to Liam in May 2012, but they split in September 2013, before reuniting in 2016.
The clearly upset pop star pushed her husband’s hands away, as he offered an embarrassed smile.
She then raised her arms and posed like a storm.
Miley seems to take several jabs at her ex-husband in her new song.
Elsewhere, she sings “I Can Love Me Better Than You.” I can love myself better / I can love myself better baby / I can love myself better / I can love myself better ah.
