"Flores" is the ninth single by Titãs. It was released in 1989 on WEA. A completely reworked acoustic version of the song was later featured on their Acústico MTV live album, with Branco Mello sharing vocals with Marisa Monte. The chorus riff (used in the opening of the Acústico MTV version) was composed by drummer Charles Gavin, one of the song's co-writers.[1]
