Cyrus’ “Flowers” is a song about finding self-love after a broken heart.

At Cyrus’ chorus, she clapped and sang back. My own hands/Yeah I can love me more than you ”
Cyrus released the song on the occasion of her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s 33rd birthday. Her fans speculate that this is no coincidence.
