flower is Japanese singer-songwriter Kumi Koda's seventeenth single. The song was a pop ballad and was her first single to not have a corresponding music video. It peaked at No. 4 on the Oricon Singles Charts, despite not having a music video, and remained on the charts for ten weeks.
The single was released after her success of single "Butterfly," which was the artist's first number-one single.[3] "flower" was used as the theme song to the novel Koibana, which was written by Yoshi. Yoshi had also written the lyrics to the song, reflecting the meaning of the story.
The song would be placed on Kumi's first compilation album, Best ~first things~. The song still did not garner a music video on the album. Kumi would perform this song during the encore for her Live Tour 2005 ~first things~.[4]
