"Pretty Little Flower" is the third single off Silver Spoon's debut album "Man of Your Dreams" with his band "Spoons". " The song which is written and produced by Silver Spoons; but also received major involvement from Daniel The Freenerd as a producer, creative director, and sound engineer. The song was mainly written and vocally recorded during Spoon's hospital stay post recovery from his coma. This is the first song on the album that involves backing vocals from his bandmates Eric Wesley, Jonathan Wilson, Russell Davis, Miguel Rodriguez and Jacob Mckinney. The song also received assistance from the Spoons band as a whole throughout post-production. As a bonus, the song will be made available for streaming with a pre-order purchase on December 24, 2020.
Writing and production for the song began as early as October after Spoons recovered from his coma at the hospital; immediately following the inspiration Spoons received after recording the prior two tracks he began to write "Pretty Little Flower". With this track, Spoons wanted to have a bit more fun with the lyrics and make them a bit sensual than he's used to writing. To get this work out he thought of a funny story he remembers from his early touring days when girls would meet him at the back of his trailer to get pictures with him and potentially get picked to hang out with the country superstar. While Spoons used a past experience as inspiration to writing the song; the song itself is fictional and is not about anyone in particular.
"There's a very necessary switch with this song on the album. After pouring my heart out on the first two tracks I wanted to give myself and the listeners a break from those strong emotions and throw something a bit more fun into the mix. This is king of a sexy song. It talks about a confident woman who's not only sure of herself but she somehow manages to get me to concede to her desires. She's not your typical groupie fangirl; she happens to stand out from that. I think that kind of fantasy is something that will make this song fun to play in shows and get the fans going." - Silver Spoons
The song features a more twangy alternative rock production in comparison to the prior two.
The song begins with a moody guitar and hard-hitting drums playing in a mysterious kind of way. Spoons' vocals come in very relaxed but sensual. This type of vocal style continues right up until the chorus kicks in; in which both the production and vocals both transition to a more generic-sounding vocals/rock guitar playing. As each shift happens in the song from generic to alternative the moody section grows more intense. The band as a whole is also heard backing vocals during the choruses which is something that was not done in the prior two tracks as all bandmates were silent.
"In terms of this album; most of the project centers around the idea of a person crafting that perfect partner but in this case, it's less about me and more about the other person. This song is a break from that concept. I also wanted to try something new sonically because this song even for me feels completely different from anything that I've recorded. The first two songs somewhat have some type of reference to something I've done in the past but this song in particular sounds like nothing I've ever done before." - Silver Spoons

PRETTY LITTLE FLOWER/ LYRICS "She looked lost in the universe
Picked you from the crowd like a pretty little flower
she wrote me letters like a holy verse
but also says welcome to my scary hours
she pushed me down to my bed
how could a pretty little thing have so much power
sat there while she gave me ****
stood there like a brick but then she breaks her silence
she says she wants to have sex with a little violence
She likes the taste of sin off the tip of her tongue
She's a pretty little flower but she's no daisy
she dresses like a ****...but she's not easy
So come and be my pretty little flower
be my pretty little flower
you can be my pretty flower
come and be my pretty little flower
She looked lost in the universe
Picked you from the crowd like a pretty little flower
she wrote me letters like a holy verse
but also says welcome to my scary hours
she pushed me down to my bed
how could a pretty little thing have so much power
sat there while she gave me ****
stood there like a brick but then she breaks her silence
she says she wants to have sex with a little violence
She likes the taste of sin off the tip of her tongue
She's a pretty little flower but she's no daisy
she dresses like a ****...but she's not easy
So come and be my pretty little flower
be my pretty little flower
you can be my pretty flower
come and be my pretty little flower
