Miley Cyrus referred to one of her most empowering themes and told the true story behind her.
When Miley Cyrus released Flowers last January, one of her most powerful songs, it quickly began to climb in the ranking of the most listened to. At that time, Shakira had just presented her song with Bizarrap, which demonstrated her empowerment and destroyed Gerard Piqué for her infidelities.
That made many determine that the new thing from the former Disney girl was on the same path. In addition, her powerful phrases within her lyrics also implied that the speaker was a strong woman and that she did not need a man to do something for her.
However, since Miley Cyrus released 'Flowers', she hasn't really expressed herself about the origin of it. Now, in dialogue with British Vogue magazine, she has finally done it. The artist revealed the origin of the song and if it was actually dedicated to her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth, as she said.
The actress and singer assured that at the beginning, when she created the song, she did not have that empowerment that is talked about so much and that, on the contrary, it was the saddest letter that she had written in her life.
“I wrote it in a very different way. The chorus was originally: 'I can buy myself flowers, write my name in the sand, but I can't love myself better than you.' It used to be more, like, 1950. The saddest song. Like, 'Sure, I can be my own lover, but you're so much better. The song is a bit more 'fake it until you make it' (fake it until you make it), a position I'm a big fan of," said Miley Cyrus.
Regarding whether or not it is for Liam Hemsworth, she was honest and even upset about the fact. Miley expressed her wish that she doesn't want all of her music to be meant for her ex-partner and that she understands that she is simply inspired by various experiences in her path.
“I would not delete my story nor do I want to delete it. Having an interesting life makes the story interesting, ”she said at the end of the note.
