Singer
Miley Cyrus released the song
Flowers
on Friday
, a theme loaded with revenge towards her ex, actor
Liam Hemsworth
.
Thus, she adds to
Shakira
's style and her darts against Gerard Piqué in his
BZRP Music Session #53
with
Bizarrap
, although the American one is much more subtle.
"I didn't want to leave you, I didn't want to lie, I started to cry but then I remembered: I can buy myself flowers," Cyrus sings in the song that some doubted if it was addressed to Liam, until they realized that
the release date coincided with the Hemsworth's 33rd birthday
, who has been dating Gabriela Brooks for three years.

Miley and Liam's Story
For some context, it should be noted that Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have
been dating for ten years, breaking up and reuniting
since they met in 2009 while filming the movie
The Last Song
.
They got engaged twice and married
in December 2018, but broke up for good less than a year later.
When Miley Cyrus got married, she uploaded pictures to her Instagram with her husband Liam Hemsworth.
Once the song was released, her fans began to search for possible references that Cyrus could have made to the fickle relationship and brief marriage, and one of the most obvious is her reversal of the refrain from
Bruno Mars '
When I Was Your Man
, which says "I should have brought you flowers and held your hand."
It was one of the songs that played on the wedding day.
The original theme talks about the mistakes that a man made in a relationship and his regret after the breakup.
Also, in the first few verses Miley sings: "We were good, we were golden, like a dream that can't be sold. We were good until we stopped being, I
built a house and it goes to see it burn
."
The last word "burn" is not a metaphor: in November 2018 the house they had together burned down in the famous fires in the town of Woolsey, in southern California, shortly before their wedding.
And just before the chorus he says: "I didn't want to leave you, I didn't want to lie", which corresponds to rumors from the time of the divorce, when it was said that she wanted to save the marriage and suddenly he filed for divorce in the courts.
For all that, while it's been two years since she divorced Hemsworth, it's clear the
Hannah Montana
actress wanted to send the actor a message.
With
Flowers
, Miley Cyrus takes responsibility for her own happiness:
"I can love myself better than you can
," while still acknowledging how hard it was for her to see the home she wanted to build "burn."
As spiteful as Shakira
With the premiere of this song, Miley officially launched a new album called
Endless Summer Vacation
, whose preview heralded the singer's "strongest and most confident" version and promises to have her most intimate reflections on her path to personal healing.
Bizarrap and Shakira premiered a collaboration at Music Session #53.
The song comes just two days after Shakira exploded the networks with the song
BZRP Music Session #53,
her revenge against the former Spanish soccer player Gerard Piqué and his new partner, the Spanish Clara Chía.
Without mincing words, Shakira recounted her intimacies, which were already known worldwide, such as the infidelity of the famous soccer player.
Although this is not the first time that Shakira has sung the problems she faced in the relationship, until then the Colombian had been less explicit and had handled more subtle references in her videos and lyrics in the songs
Monotonía
and
Te felicito
.
Both
BZRP Music Session #53
and
Flowers
have brought a wave of comments on social networks, but the conclusion of both could be defined by Shakira's phrase in her song:
"Women no longer cry, women bill"
, well that they're both doing with their breakups.

Shakira thanked Bizarrap and sent another message to Piqué: "This goes to all women"
Great successes of spite and resentment, in the best style of Shakira vs.
Pique
