Hey I'm Brian Hyatt and this is Rolling Stone Music Now.

We have bought ourselves flowers.

We are holding our own hands and we are ready to discuss the new Myly Cyrus album,

which is out now, endless summer vacation.

And to do that I have with me Brittany Spanos and Rob Sheffield.

And I thought we'd also take the opportunity to trace as briefly as possible

Molly's whole bizarre path through her career.

She has a huge hit right now with flowers. And I don't quite understand how she got away without a Bruno Mars songwriting credit.

Obviously she took lyrical inspiration from it and even a bit of melodic inspiration.

So in this age of litigation fearful artists, I don't get how she doesn't give Bruno

Mars just a little something, I don't know.

5% for this.

Actually didn't realize that he didn't have a credit on there.

I was looking at the credits for the full album. Maybe she had to talk with him and he's like, no, that's right, I don't need the credit.

For Mars, I feel like he was down for the drama. Whatever you need to do to use this song for. Bruno Mars is the king of taking off from his

inspirations. He's never been shy about that. Bruno is a fan and Bruno gets how fandom works.

His amazing, my favorite album of his 20. fan and Bruno gets how fandom works.

His amazing, my favorite album of his 24 carrot gold

where he's doing his tributes to the early 90s R&B hits

that he loves and there's, he's very overt about his inspirations without necessarily cutting that into the songwriting credits but he didn't credit the police on locked out of heaven which is just a brilliant riff.

The song that Flowers clearly takes some inspiration from is

When I was Your Man by Bruno Marsen.
