However, during the 18th century when romantiscim gained popularity, the romantics emphized the mans close connections to nature. This still hold true today in Cody Simpson’s song, ‘Flower.’ As evident by the title, Cody’s nature aspect are about flowers. For him, the nature symbolizes his love and effections for the girl he has feelings for.
