Pop sensation Miley Ray Cyrus practices self-love through work-out, swim, and dance in her new video for single ‘Flowers’. The video premiered on Friday 13th of January and already has a hold on the world with it trending number one on YouTube for music and over 39M views.
The video starts with Miley strutting across a bridge in a pair of boxy black sunglasses and a vintage Yves Saint Laurent satin gold hooded top and skirt look that matches the LA sunset behind her. She pulls her bleach blonde locks up into a chic messy updo and shimmies her way up the hills to her decadent house where she strips down into lingerie and takes a dive into her pool displaying her adorable tats. As the chorus hits she works out in her garden showing her mental and physical strength as she completes rope workouts and bungee burpees with a triumphant snarl on her face. Miley then hops in the shower before rocking a sexy slim black suit with slicked-back wet hair as she walks through the clean white halls of her minimalism mansion. The song ends with the star dancing like there’s no tomorrow – it’s bound to make you want to join in too.
The Gold Star Attire
Slay the metallic trend that will be everywhere this year Miley style and look solid gold in this gleaming top and skirt fit.
Director of the video is model, photographer, and filmmaker Jacob Bixenman, who has worked with Helmut Lang, Mark Ronson, Paco Rabanne, and Troye Sivan and in the past. He also worked with Miley on the Attention singles music videos last year.
There’s speculation amongst fans as to whether the lyrics in the song are a dig at the singer’s ex-husband Liam Hemsworth with whom Miley had an on-again off-again relationship. Fans online have pointed out that the single, in which Miley tells the world she can “love herself better”, dropped on Liam’s 33rd birthday. Some fans have also theorised that the lyrics in the first verse of the song, “We were right til we weren’t/ Built a home and watched it burn”, are alluding to Miley and Liam’s home in Malibu that was destroyed by California wildfires in 2018. Finally, the lyrics in the chorus ‘Flowers’ are almost a direct response to Bruno Mars’ ‘When I was Your Man’, which details the regret at the deterioration of a relationship due to lack of care and consideration from the man. Ouch!
‘Flowers’ is the first single released from the multi-platinum-selling recording artist’s eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation which is set to release on the 10th March this year. As evident from the video for ‘Flowers’, the album is Miley’s love letter to the city she lives in: Los Angeles. From the album’s title we can expect some pop hits that be ideal for our summer playlists.

The album follows Miley’s glam rock-inspired album Plastic Hearts released in 2020. Plastic Hearts was a knockout for the singer with it debuting at number two on the Billboard 200 and the singles ‘Prisoner’ and ‘Midnight Sky’ topping the charts in several countries.
