Miley told the publication that ‘Flowers’ wasn’t always destined the be the empowering song we know it to be, saying that she backwards engineered the anthem.“I wrote it in a really different way,” she said, revealing that she originally sang in the chorus that she can’t love herself better than a former partner – a different message indeed!”The chorus was originally: ‘I can buy myself flowers. write my name in the sand, but I can’t love me better than you can,'” the pop star said.
She explained that the first rendition sold a very different message, saying: “It used to be more, like, 1950s. The saddest song. Like: ‘Sure, I can be my own lover, but you’re so much better.’”
The ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ musician said that she wrote a song that she herself would need to hear in a low moment: “The song is a little fake it till you make it. Which I’m a big fan of.”
