Every Lyric from Miley Cyrus' 'Flowers' That Seemingly References Liam Hemsworth Breakup

Miley Cyrus has released her new song “Flowers” and it’s pretty clear in the lyrics that she’s singing about her ex-husband Liam Hemsworth.

The 30-year-old singer dropped the song on Liam‘s birthday, so fans already guessed that the song would be about him from the moment it was announced.

This isn’t the first time that Miley has released a breakup song about Liam. It’s believed that her former single “Slide Away” was also about him!

Miley dated and was engaged to her The Last Song co-star after they met on the set of the Nicholas Sparks movie. However, they split up around the launch of Miley‘s Bangerz era. The couple reunited a few years later and tied the knot in 2018. Less than a year later, Liam filed for a divorce. The divorce was finalized in 2020.

Before the song was released, there was already a lot of evidence that the song was about Liam, but after reading the lyrics, we’re pretty much convinced.

See all of the lyrics that are clearly about Liam Hemsworth…

1. “Built a home and watched it burn”
   Miley and Liam‘s home in Malibu burnt down in November 2018 during the Woolsey fires. It’s pretty clear that she’s referencing this in the song!

2. The chorus mirrors Bruno Mars’ “When I Was Your Man”
   The lyrics to the chorus mirror the lyrics in the chorus of “When I Was Your Man.” While this is not confirmed, fans believe that Liam once dedicated the song to Miley.
3. “Write my name in the sand”
   In her 2019 breakup track “Slide Away,” which is largely thought to be about Liam, Miley announces that her ex can slide away “back to the ocean” while she goes “back to the city lights.”

   Miley makes another beach-related reference in “Flowers” when she sings that she’ll “write my name in the sand.”
