new label investing a lot of money into the song

miley's personal life

+ radio payola. too bad they wasted all the budget to esv's lead. now river can't even reach top20 

Mass payola

The fact that it’s her first song post-breakup

It reminded people of that bruno song

Tiktok

 

And the chorus is very catchy (and very relatable), don't lie

talent acclaim beauty success

tik tok too

The narrative surrounding it. I don't mean this as a dig, since people obviously like the song.

Timing

autoplay

Probably people being bored at the start of the year and had nothing else to do! 

The song itself. After ESV's and River's performance it's safe to say, Miley profited from the song more than the song did from Miley's name.

Autoplay, radio payola and TikTok! That's why it's been selling +10k every week since its release, but I do wonder why every other song with that kind of promo isn't selling as much as Flowers.....

It's the post chorus for me.

 

Can love me better

I can love me better, baby

All the stars just aligned for her. 

 

Plus its a good catchy pop song

Talent and quality.

 

It is now going to go on to become a classic breakup/self empowerment anthem I’m afraid.

This. 

 

has been slowly regaining momentum (Plastic Hearts, Ashley Too & Live Performances)

classic sample and interpolation

The main ingredient was Miley. Her voice and swag elevated the song and video from a cute disco bop to a classic anthem. The interpolation of I Will Survive and When I Was Your Man adds a nostalgic appeal that drew in listeners of all generations. The lyrics and message are also relatable to anyone of any gender, background, age. I've heard people of almost every demographic singing or humming it.
