Flowers by Miley Cyrus is played in the key of Am at a beginner difficulty level, originally released in the 2020s. It uses 3 chords — Am G F — arranged in the i-bVII-bVI progression.
About the i-bVII-bVI progression
The i-bVII-bVI is a descending minor pattern with roots in flamenco and Andalusian music. Each chord walks down the natural minor scale, creating a moody, Spanish-tinged sound that shows up in metal, film scores, and folk ballads alike.
Playing in the key of Am
A minor is the relative minor of C major, sharing its scale and chord family (Am, Dm, Em, F, G, C) but with a darker, more introspective feel. One of the easiest minor keys for beginners because most of its chords use open shapes.
