"I performed for MYSELF and sang my favorite songs including my own. First 'live' performance of Flowers was to an audience full of my friends and family. Taking this song back to the seed. she sprouted sensationally."

"Flowers," which is from Miley's eighth album, Endless Summer Vacation, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and logged eight non-consecutive weeks on the tally. The song earned Miley her second No. 1 on that chart.
