In “Daffodil”, Florence Welch develops on the subject of finding happiness in small moments of life, as she previously did in Florence + The Machine’s fourth studio album, High as Hope. The pandemic took from her some of those small moments, such as walking out to get coffee and pick flowers.

[Intro]
I couldn't help it, yes, I let it get in
The helpless optimism of spring
Worn out and tired and my heart near retired
And the world bent double from weeping

My dad told me once that his favorite flower is...
Florence Welch:
I thought I’d lost my mind, because I remember coming home and being like, ‘Okay, I wrote a song today. It might be the most Florence + the Machine thing I’ve ever done. We’re a year into the pandemic, I think maybe I’m losing it. The chorus is just “daffodil” over and over again.’...
