"Flowers" is the debut single by UK garage duo Sweet Female Attitude, released on 3 April 2000. The song uses the same chord sequence as Erik Satie's Trois Gymnopédies,[3] and the actual piece can be heard in the version by The House & Garage Orchestra, from the 2018 album Garage Classics.[4]
The song had a UK Garage mix by producer Sunship which peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart with first-week sales of about 80,500.[5] It went on to become the United Kingdom's 37th biggest-selling single of 2000 and received a double platinum certification from the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales and streams of at least 1,200,000. The duo's subsequent releases failed to replicate the commercial success of “Flowers”, with the song being described as a "one-hit wonder" for Sweet Female Attitude.[6]
"Flowers" has been sampled and covered several times, most notably by DJ Spoony featuring the Sugababes and by Nathan Dawe featuring Jaykae. The latter version peaked at number 12 on the UK Singles Chart in 2020, receiving a platinum certification from the BPI.
