The studio version of “Flowers” is a disco bop, but you might just fall in love with Miley Cyrus’s husky electric piano version, which she sang at a poolside Gucci party in LA. In July 2024, Cyrus sang the number one hit just with a pianist for accompaniment, and this stripped-back version was the perfect way to highlight her smoky voice. The Tennessee star had a lot of fun during the performance, toying with the crowd by dropping little jokes and cheeky comments throughout.
Cyrus’s voice has changed a lot since her Hannah Montana days, to say the least, and the 32-year-old has leaned right into the shift by emphasizing her new distinctive tone. She switched up the style of her vocals for this special performance by giving the “Flowers” an R&B feel. Nobody can own the stage quite like Cyrus and The Music Man readers will definitely want to watch the master at work for this one!
Cyrus performed the piano version of “Flowers” at a Gucci event at Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, California, and the brand uploaded the song on July 22, 2024. Cyrus was the face of the Gucci Flora campaign in 2024, which led to the one-off performance. The disco groove “Flowers” might seem like a surprising choice for such a low-key gig, but Cyrus knocked it out of the park with her fresh take on the hit.
Fans couldn’t get enough of Cyrus’s live cut of “Flowers,” and added comments such as “If there’s something Cyrus will do, it’s serve vocals. no matter where, or what it’s for, she will have that mic ON” and “This is an amazing version of the song! The song is even better when she sings it live! That’s a hard thing to do for a lot of singers, but not for Miley.” Cyrus also impressed with her full band version of “Flowers” at the 2024 Grammys, which drew 27 million views on YouTube.
Cyrus released “Flowers” on January 12, 2023, as the lead single from her eighth studio album Endless Summer Vacation. The Music Man readers might be interested to know that the pop star wrote the tune with Gregory Aldae Hein and Michael Pollack, while Kid Harpoon and Tyler Johnson handled production duties. “Flowers” catapulted Cyrus right back to the top of the charts and became the best-selling single on the planet in 2023. The single drew 2.7 billion streams worldwide, which made it the most commercially successful song of her career.
