Self love is the best love.

I would have never thought in a million years that my favorite song (at the moment) would be by Miley Cyrus.

Yet, here we are.

Not that I have anything against her, but I don’t do her music. Then there was that summer my little cousin visited and watched that darn Hannah Montana all day (I’m crying on the inside thinking about it).

But, there’s a song that I fell in love with recently because I kept hearing the refrain as the background of video clips people were uploading to social media.

It goes like this —

I can buy myself flowers (oh)
Write my name in the sand (mm)
Talk to myself for hours (yeah)
Say things you don’t understand (you never will)
I can take myself dancing, yeah
I can hold my own hand
Yeah, I can love me better than
Yeah, I can love me better than you can

Can love me better
I can love me better, baby (oh)
Can love me better
I can love me better (than you can), baby
