The meditation post was done on the three-year anniversary of the artist’s worldwide hit song ‘Flowers,’ a self-love anthem that was released in January 2023, that dominated charts for weeks in various countries and even won a Grammy among this and the song’s large space in pop culture.

Miley Cyrus is still not done yet with the roses. She even looks back saying that she is celebrating the third birthday of her mega-hit single ‘Flowers’. In a post with a classy photo of herself, Cyrus says she is ‘still madly in love with this song.’ She further thanks her fans for not stopping to listen to her music and ends her message with ‘I love making music for you.’ Cyrus’ feeling was simple, direct, and full of the real sincerity that has been part of her communication with her fans for a long time.
‘Flowers’ was an independence and self-love anthem and it was not just another pop tune. Released as the debut single from her album ‘Endless Summer Vacation’, the song literally reset the culture. The song hit the number one spot and by year’s end had collected a Grammy for Best Pop Solo Performance. For Cyrus, the song represented a turning point and, as per her note, its significance has not decayed with time.
Her post celebrating and reflecting on the song’s anniversary was met with an avalanche of public remembrance and sharing of personal stories. A lot of people shared the same sentiments and called the song a ‘timeless anthem’ that is still being played. One listener said, ‘it is definitely a human masterpiece’ while another commented, ‘these Flowers are still very much alive after three years.’ The topic of the song’s longevity came up repeatedly as a number of fans queried that it still feels ‘as fresh as day one.’
General praise was given but at the same time some responses got personal and disclosed the profound influence of the artist’s work. One person tells the sob story of the river of tears, ‘I went through a divorce when my ex-wife left me while I was having surgery for an amputation, and the song helped me get through the drama.’ They finish by saying, ‘Because of the song, I started treating myself to a bouquet every week. Thank you.’ A second commenter admits, ‘Flowers kind of rescued my mental health; I was going through a tough time back then.’ The comments indicate that the song, which was supposed to be just a source of entertainment, has rather come out as a source of strength.
Moreover, not all the comments were of the party spirit without reservation. Given the online aspect of the situation, there were still a few critics or skeptics who were somewhat ambiguous in their judgments. One user referred to the song as ‘a copy-write infringement’ without providing any reasons though. Another suggested quite openly that Cyrus should ‘make a remake of your wrecking ball music video’ and that it would be guaranteed that she was back in the limelight, adding ‘otherwise, who cares?’ A different commenter says this will be ‘her only hit until 2033,’ which is a backhanded compliment since it acknowledges the song’s huge peak while at the same time expressing doubt over the artist’s future output.
Amidst the lively music conversation, some were checking out how the singer was styled in the picture she posted and complimenting her everlasting style. ‘So nice to see you still have your industrial!’ one person pointed out, referring to her famous ear piercing. Another said, ‘Any picture of her could be a cover art!’ simply.
For Miley Cyrus, the song ‘Flowers’ is not only about the number of streams and awards. It is still a creation that makes her proud, a gift for the listeners, that for some of the people, has turned into a personal lifeline. It was, however, the brief but heartfelt message that illustrated the case of closeness between artists and their fans again— where being open, esthetically, and singing along with the crowd are the same as the two sides of the relationship coming together. Three years later, the song’s melody is still there and its declaration of independence continues to thrive for many. Her recent work continues to engage fans.
