Flower is the first single to be published by the Blackpink member Jisoo on her solo project, and it had been widely anticipated in K-pop circles as of a few days before its release. Flower first appeared on March 31, 2023, shortly after its announcement a few days before.
Having been released on the same day as her album Me, the song appeared as a preview for the singer’s track about how she views herself in a relationship, which was released that same day.
Flower is a song about a love relationship that has ended, and it tells the story of that. Jisoo is trying to evaluate the responsibility of both parties in her song to make it clear that the reason why she didn’t work is that he was unable to keep her because Jisoo knows how she is, how she can change her looks, and how she behaves, but in the end, Jisoo understands that it wasn’t her fault because he could not keep her.
According to Jisoo, she is like a beautiful flower compared to herself. It is important to protect, spoil, and take care of this lovely and graceful creature. There are times, just like a flower, when she seems to be flying away, dragged along by a gentle breeze, but this is just part of what makes her so beautiful.
A man who can handle this part of her must be able to keep her close to him while managing this part of her. Unfortunately, he was unable to do so to continue the relationship, and that’s why it ended. There are some lines in some of the songs that make this clear
A-B-C, do-re-mi
I was as nice as that
That look in the eye changed
completely perhaps
This is also a side of me
I fly away like a blue butterfly
It’s all on you that you didn’t hold on
Even the times that we were in full bloom
A lie, lie, lie to me
Crimsonly burned down you and I
I’m okay, would you be as well?
On a beautiful day without a single cloud
There was nothing left
but the scent of a flower
There was nothing left
but the scent of a flowеr
You and me, although we were
Madly in love
Cruelly trampled
My one and only lilac
I fly away like a white petal
It’s all on you that you didn’t hold on
Drawn by a gentle wind
Spring comes but we say bye, bye, bye
Crimsonly burned down you and I
I’m okay, would you be as well?
On a beautiful day without a single cloud
There was nothing left
but the scent of a flower
There was nothing left
but the scent of a flower
Now goodbye, goodbye
Never looking back
A leaf named hesitance
Falling away from you by a spring shower
Nothing left but a scent of a flower
Hey-hey-ey-hey
Hey, hey-ey-hey
Hey-hey-ey-hey
There was nothing left
but a scent of a flower
