'[Miley Cyrus] might be the only artist I’ve ever worked with that personally texts me start times and studio addresses for sessions,' Michael Pollack, who co-wrote the pop star's 'Flowers,' says.
’ “Flowers” dropped in January and went nuclear. A disco-tinged ode to self-love and independence, the emotional track amassed a record-breaking 100 million-plus first-week Spotify streams and debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. As a co-writer of a song that could stand for some time as 2023’s biggest, Pollack enjoys a status as one of music’s magic-makers that is now undeniable.
The collaborators knew they were on to something special, but the song’s full potential wasn’t clear until “Flowers” was flipped from a stripped-back piano ballad into an uptempo anthem. “I knew we wrote a special song that day, but I’d be lying if I said I thought it would be as big as it has been,” Pollack says. “It has definitely exceeded my expectations, I think it exceeded everyone’s expectations.
When asked to name his favorite thing about working with Cyrus, the songwriter is seemingly spoiled for choice. “It’s so hard to pick one thing, but if I had to I would say her ability to balance her confidence in her own ideas and her trust in her co-writers,” Pollack says. “She’s such an unbelievable songwriter but she really doesn’t care where the best idea comes from — she just wants to create the best possible art.
“I attended a Billy Joel Q&A and asked to perform a song with him,” Pollack remembers. “He let me accompany him and the video of our performance went viral, eventually leading to a meeting with Pete Ganbarg who signed me to his publishing joint venture with Warner Chappell.” After graduating, Pollack headed straight to Los Angeles and moved in with Ari Leff and Michael Matosic.
