Interviews About Albums: Flwers - The Last Time (2026)

In this new interview, we sat down with the American Pop-Rock band Flwers to ask questions about their album, "The Last Time".

1. What can you say about this new EP/CD?

“The Last Time” is a culmination of the last 6 years of our band. With this EP, we really found ourselves musically, and it took a while for us to really do that. These are eight of our favorite songs we’ve ever made as a band. It’s a lighthearted and fun EP, but it also talks about some of the heavier moments in life, like when you’re falling out of love. We tried to experiment with our sound a bit, but at the same time really dial in what we wanted our band to sound like. We worked really hard on picking our favorite aspects of our influences and blending them together to create something unique to us. This EP is for anyone who wants to have a good time driving through a summer night.

2. What is the meaning of the EP/CD name?

“The Last Time” was chosen as the name pretty late in the EP-making process. We threw around some other names for a while, but once we had all the songs finished we felt like “The Last Time” was a song that encapsulates a lot of who we are as a band. That song ties in a lot of our different musical influences and is a favorite of ours. It signifies the time in a relationship where you think you’re starting to do things for the last time with your partner. You know the relationship is falling apart, but you still live through the good moments even though you know they aren’t going to last.

3. Who is the composer of the CD/EP?

I (Jack) am the main writer in the band. Normally I’ll make a demo of a song, which will include the chords, melody, and lyrics. Then when we’re in the studio, the rest of the band will add their own parts and add some spice to it. It’s awesome watching a song go from just a small idea I had in my bedroom into a fully produced song in the studio.

4. If you had to pick one song, which one would you pick?

I think it’d be crazy to pick any song other than “Bittersweet”. That song was the first of ours to do well on TikTok, and that led us to where we are now. It’s still our highest-streamed song to date, and we love closing the live show with it.

5. Is there a special message in this EP/CD? If there is, what is it?

This EP has a lot of lyrics pertaining to lost love and moving on from it. In the past couple of years, I saw a lot of people in my life go on tons of dates and find new partners, and I just found it very inspiring to write about. That’s such a special time in a person's life, and I’m hoping people can relate to these songs.

6. Are there some lyrics that you'd love to share?

The chorus to our song “Fade” is something I’m proud of lyrically. The lyrics are, “Can we just fade away?, lost in a moment

Yesterday is just out of focus

I tried my best, but it wasn’t the same

Is it too late to say, “can we just fade?”

To me, those lines are about falling deeply in love with someone. You just want to run away with them and leave everything else behind. The end of the chorus asks the question, “Is it too late to say, can we just fade?” and to me that’s just that intrusive thought that creeps into your mind sometimes, even when you’re in a healthy, stable relationship. It’s a very real feeling to wonder if your partner will always feel the same way about you. I’m glad I was able to put that into words in this song.

7. Which inspirations have been important for this album? Like musically or friends, family, someone you'd love to thank specially?

Honestly, I think my friends and family were the biggest inspiration while writing this EP. The long talks I’d have with them would always inspire me to write. Hearing the ups and downs they’ve had in the dating scene always brings up new ideas for songs, and I love putting my own spin on them and creating a new concept from that.

8. Something to add?

I just want to say thank you to anyone who chooses to listen to us. We’re just four guys who have been playing music together for over a decade and love doing it. We’re so glad people are starting to connect with our songs and are so excited to see what’s in store for the future.
