While she is reportedly not afraid of the lawsuit itself, insiders revealed that Miley is apprehensive of being forced to confirm the song was about Liam, per Daily Mail.

"Miley is not too concerned with the lawsuit itself, but everyone who knows Miley knows that this track was written as a way of healing from Liam," a source spilled.

Fans have speculated for a long time that Flowers was inspired by the end of her marriage to the 34-year-old actor – which lasted less than a year.

The song, which some fans theorized flips Bruno Mars' 2012 track, When I Was Your Man, focuses on self-empowerment and being independent.

It also strikes a close chord with the Used To Be Young artist, considering Liam reportedly dedicated the song to her during their relationship. The original song is also said to have been a staple at their wedding.

But now, the songwriters behind When I Was Your Man have argued that Flowers has too many "striking similarities" to the track – and they're taking their claims to court.

How will the lawsuit over Flowers play out?

Sources told the Daily Mail that the Hannah Montana alum did indeed pull inspiration from Bruno's hit, but that's all she's hoping to have to reveal.

"While [Miley] has no issue stating it was a response to Bruno, revealing it was specifically about Liam publicly and on record is very unsettling," an insider dished.

"At this point she is just seeing how this plays out and is hoping it gets tossed out," they added.
