On Thursday 13/01, Miley Cyrus released the first single, "Flowers," off her forthcoming album, "Endless Summer Vacation." Some fans are speculating that the self-love anthem is directed at her ex-husband, Liam Hemsworth.

Cyrus and Hemsworth met while filming "The Last Song" in 2010 and dated on and off for several years. The couple married in 2018 but divorced a year later. The split was finalized in January 2020.

Although Cyrus hasn't confirmed that "Flowers" is about her relationship with Hemsworth, the single's release date, and lyrics, offer clues to the song's meaning.

"Flowers" was released on Jan. 13, Hemsworth's 33rd birthday, which led to fans speculating about the meaning of the song.

In "When I Was Your Man," Mars sings that he wishes he "bought you flowers, and held your hand."

Although Mars isn't credited as a sample on the song, Cyrus sings "I can buy myself flowers," and "I can hold my own hand" in a similar tune to Mars' hit. 

According to Billboard,  some fans have speculated that Hemsworth dedicated Mars' song to Cyrus following their first engagement in 2013 though those theories so far are unconfirmed.

One TikTok video, posted by user @thruthelatenightt had accumulated over 1.7 million likes and thousands of comments as of Sunday including commentary from singer Charlie Puth, who wrote "That's actually genius lol."

"We were good, we were gold/ Kind of dream that can't be sold/ We were right till we weren't/ Built a home and watched it burn," Cyrus sings in the opening verse. 

According to Us Weekly, the fire metaphor could be referring to the home Cyrus shared with Hemsworth, which burned down during the 2018 Woolsey Fire.
