Miley Cyrus fans have spotted a reference to a classic disco hit buried within new single “Flowers” that may serve as a pointed message to ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.
While it’s nearly three years since the 30-year-old’s divorce from Hemsworth was finalized, it would appear that the Australian actor is still very much on her mind.
Plenty of eyebrows were raised when the singer took to social media on January 1 to announce that she was returning with a new single that would be released on January 13. Fans were quick to spot that that date also happens to be Hemsworth’s birthday.
Following the release of the track, listeners have been poring over the lyrics to try to find references to the failed marriage. Several fans were quick to note how “Flowers” serves as a response of sorts to the Bruno Mars hit “When I Was Your Man.”
On the song, which was released in 2012, Mars sings of his regrets regarding a previous relationship:
“I should have bought you flowers, And held your hand / Should have gave you all my hours, When I had the chance / Take you to every party ’cause all you wanted to do was dance / Now my baby’s dancing, But she’s dancing with another man.”
By contrast, the lyrics of “Flowers” see Cyrus reject much of what Mars longs for in his song, preferring instead to celebrate strength and love in oneself:
“I can buy myself flowers, Write my name in the sand / Talk to myself for hours, Say things you don’t understand / I can take myself dancing, And I can hold my own hand / Yeah, I can love me better than you can.”
The allusion to the song has sparked wild theories online, with one fan on TikTok writing that Hemsworth had dedicated Mars’ song to Cyrus after they got engaged.
Fans have so far been unable to confirm if these theories are correct. However, several listeners have spotted a nod to another familiar hit that may hint at Cyrus’s state of mind following the split.
