Miley Cyrus has officially kicked off her new era of music with the release of “Flowers,” the debut single from her upcoming new album, Endless Summer Vacation.
The international superstar released her brand-new single “Flowers” on Thursday (Jan. 12), which also happens to be her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth’s 33rd birthday.
The tune, presumably about the demise of her and Hemsworth’s relationship, was co-written by Cyrus alongside Aldae and Michael Pollack. The track, produced by Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson, brings the theme of overall independence and self-reliance while the lyrics speak on the topic of Cyrus finding her own happiness without a lover.
“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,” Cyrus sings on the tune’s chorus.
Cyrus also released a music video to accompany the new tune, which showcases the chart-topping singer’s newfound confidence and being happy on her own.
The clip begins with Cyrus, donning a golden gown and sunglasses, walking across a bridge as lyrics of the tune detail the end of a breakup. As she realizes that she can live happy without a significant other Cyrus put her hair up and is all smiles. Cyrus then enters a backyard, wearing a black bikini, and dives into an in-ground swimming pool before working out, doing yoga, and taking a hot shower. The music video concludes with Cyrus freely dancing throughout her home in a black suit.

“Flowers” will appear as the lead single on her forthcoming eighth studio album, Endless Summer Vacation, which arrives on March 10, 2023. Endless Summer Vacation marks Cyrus’ first album on her label home, Columbia Records. The upcoming project will serve as her “love letter to LA” and a “reflection of the strength she’s found in focusing on both her physical and mental well-being.”
After nearly a decade, Cyrus parted ways with her former record label, RCA Records, where she released several albums such as 2012’s Bangerz, 2015’s Miley Cyrus & Her Dead Petz, 2017’s Younger Now and 2020’s Plastic Hearts.
Endless Summer Vacation serves as the follow-up to her 2020 rock project, Plastic Hearts, which includes the hit singles “Midnight Sky,” “Prisoner,” “Angels Like You,” and more.
Miley Cyrus rang in 2023 with her NBC special, Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party, which she co-hosted alongside her Godmother Dolly Parton.
Cyrus’ second annual Miley’s New Year’s Eve Party featured performances from Miley Cyrus, Dolly Parton, Latto, Liily, FLETCHER, Rae Sremmurd, and SIA. Saturday Night Live’s (SNL) Chloe Fineman and Sarah Sherman as well as comedy trio Please Don’t Destroy also made appearances during the show. During the show, Cyrus performed several duets with Parton and more. The show aired on Saturday (Dec. 31) from 10:30 p.m. to Sunday (Jan. 1) 12:30 a.m. ET.
While Cyrus currently has no tour dates on the books, fans are hoping that the “We Can’t Stop” singer will soon announce a tour in support of her forthcoming new album.
