Thanks to the new song ‘Flowers,’ the next official era of Miley Cyrus‘ career is in full bloom.

The kickoff single from her recently-announced album ‘Endless Summer Vacation’ (due on digital shelves March 10), ‘Flowers’ comes as the first taste of official new music the diva’s fans have gotten since she wrapped up 2020’s ‘Plastic Hearts’ era.

In its accompanying video, which arrived Thursday (January 12), Cyrus croons about self-love and courage as she makes her way down the streets of Los Angeles dancing and shedding her inhibitions (and clothing).

“I can buy myself flowers / Write my name in the sand / Talk to myself for hours / Say things you don’t understand / I can take myself dancing / And I can hold my own hand / Yeah, I can love me better than you can,” she wails on the cut produced by Kid Harpoon, Tyler Johnson, & Mike Will Made It.

Memphis is in the building!

Bluff City natives Moneybagg Yo and Glorilla tag-team for what is sure to become the new toxic couples anthem, ‘On Wat U On.’ A Hip-Hop lovers quarrel, the cut sees the two trade verses about why the other isn’t deserving of their time and affection.

“Asking me ‘bout b****es in a city that she think I’m f***ing,” Yo raps on the YC-produced cut. “Look dead in her eyes before I lie, I’d rather tell her nothing.”

Bringing the tune to life with a cinematic music video inspired by the 2001 dramedy ‘Baby Boy’ (starring Tyrese and Taraji P. Henson), look inside to see the action.
