Miley Cyrus has set a new record on Spotify for the most streams in one week with her new song Flowers. Within just seven days, from January 13 to January 19, the track was played over 96 million times on the platform.

Wow, Miley Cyrus has set a new record on Spotify with her latest hit single Flowers! This track quickly climbed to the top of the Billboard Hot 100 chart, knocking Taylor Swift’s Anti-Hero off its eight-week reign. Miley, a former Disney star, managed to sell a whopping 70,000 copies of the song in just one week, and the numbers are only getting better. It’s been almost a decade since Miley last secured a No. 1 spot on the Hot 100 chart, back in September 2013 with Wrecking Ball.
Great news! From January 13 to January 19, the singer’s latest song was played more than 96 million times on the platform alone. Just last week, she released a bold music video for her new single Flowers. The lyrics of the pop song hint at her past relationship with the actor, referencing the destruction of their Malibu home in a clever word play. Despite building a life together, the couple ultimately parted ways after the heartbreaking incident in November 2018. They tied the knot a month later, but sadly, their marriage ended in August 2019.
Past love: The new song is said to be about Miley Cyrus, now 30, and how she is navigating life post her split from Australian actor Liam Hemsworth, aged 33. Interestingly, the song was released on Liam’s birthday as well. (As seen in a 2019 picture)
The couple’s relationship had its ups and downs for almost ten years since they first met while working on the movie The Last Song in 2010, when Miley was just 17 and Liam was 19.
Now, Miley is portraying a strong sense of self-love, singing out “I can purchase my own flowers / Write my name in the sand / Talk to myself for hours / See things you can’t comprehend”.
The music video opens with stunning views of the Los Angeles skyline at twilight, then shifts to Cyrus in a dazzling gold dress with a hood and a cut-out showing off her toned midriff. Her platinum blonde hair is hardly visible under a designer pair of sunglasses that cover her expressive eyes as she confidently struts her stuff.
After a gap of nine years, Miley finally secured another Hot 100 No. 1 hit since her Wrecking Ball success back in 2013. In a complete mood shift, Miley confidently sheds her dress’ hood, ties her hair up, and struts across LA’s Runyon Canyon in high heels during the chorus. Singing, ‘I can take myself dancing / I can hold my own hand / Yeah, I can love me better than / Yeah, I can love me better than you can,’ Miley exudes self-assurance. With a lively spring in her step, she climbs a paved road before transitioning to scenes of her in the backyard of her lavish Studio City residence. As the sprinklers drench her, she joyfully dances on the lawn in her lingerie, demonstrating her love for herself in a bold and carefree manner.
Astonishing: Recently, the singer released a bold music video for her latest single Flowers. The singer, known for her album Plastic Hearts, showcases her toned body as she gracefully dives into her luxurious pool and swims towards the pool’s edge. With her wet hair slicked back, she confidently flaunts a lacy black bra and panties combo while lounging at the pool’s edge. In a seductive moment during the song’s second verse, she can be seen touching her body as she sings about painting her nails cherry red and forgetting past words of regret.
It switches to the chorus, featuring Miley in her black two-piece, flaunting her intense workout routine which includes battle ropes, resistance training, and some suggestive hip movements. The following scene captures Miley in a steamy shower, baring her backside as she raises her hands up and lets the water cascade down. After that, Miley is seen in a white robe, her hair wrapped in a towel, as she energetically searches through her closet. She boldly decides to go topless under an oversized black blazer paired with matching trousers and sandals.
Sexual rejuvenation: Next, she performs some provocative hip movements that hint at a deeper connection.
She confidently walks through the marble-floored hallway before breaking into a spontaneous dance in different rooms of the house, including a living room with a stunning piano and floor-to-ceiling windows.
As the night creeps in, the backyard is illuminated by mesmerizing blue and purple lights, adding to the enchanting atmosphere. Miley, feeling uninhibited, playfully lets her blazer slide off her shoulders, teasing the audience.
The video concludes with Miley catching her breath, hands on her hips, captivatingly staring directly at the camera. “Flowers” serves as the debut single from Miley’s highly anticipated eighth studio album, “Endless Summer Vacation.”
As darkness descends, the lively dance performance carries on under the glow of enchanting blue and purple lights in the backyard.
