The K-pop singer released her solo album ‘Me’ and ‘Flower’ was the highlight of the album. The song uses ‘flower’ as a metaphor for her condition and the scent of a flower as a metaphor for heartbreak.
The music video, divided into three chapters, shows her getting off a car, in a hotel lobby and also dancing on road and in several changing locations in different shimmery outfits. The video is an example of a well-done montage and describes the song appropriately.
Just before the release, JISOO mentioned that she took care of showing soloist JISOO instead of BLACKPINK’s JISOO in the album.
