'''''Fake It Flowers''''' is the debut studio album by Filipino-English singer and songwriter Beabadoobee. It was released under English independent label Dirty Hit on 16 October 2020. Continuing the departure from her previous lo-fi bedroom pop sound initiated on ''Space Cadet'', ''Fake It Flowers'' is a more guitar-driven album which recalls "'90s slacker rock" and alternative rock. Beabadoobee announced the release of the album in mid-July 2020 and supported it with the singles "Care", "Sorry", "Worth It", "How Was Your Day?" and "Together". She embarked on a headlining tour of the United Kingdom and Ireland to support the album in 2021.
==Background and release== In early 2020, Beabadoobee achieved international commercial success for the first time in her career after her 2017 single "Coffee" was prominently sampled in Canadian rapper Powfu's 2019 single "Death Bed".<ref>{{Cite news|last=Caramanica|first=Jon|author-link=Jon Caramanica|date=5 August 2020|title=The Universal Loneliness of Powfu|work=The New York Times|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/05/arts/music/powfu-poems-of-the-past-review.html|url-status=live|access-date=6 August 2020|issn=1553-8095|archive-date=26 February 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210226221339/https://www.nytimes.com/2020/08/05/arts/music/powfu-poems-of-the-past-review.html}}</ref> The song peaked in the top 20 charts of over 27 countries,<ref>{{Cite web|last=Price|first=Jason|date=5 August 2020|title=beabadoobee Releases "Sorry" Single From Highly-Anticipated Debut Album 'Fake It Flowers'|url=https://www.iconvsicon.com/2020/08/05/beabadoobee-releases-sorry-single-from-highly-anticipated-debut-album-fake-it-flowers/|access-date=6 August 2020|website=Icon Vs.

==Recording and concept== Beabadoobee told ''i-D'', "''Fake It Flowers'' is pretty much my whole life in one album."<ref name=":1" /> On the album's namesake she said "I recorded my demos on my phone and for some reason they all saved as 'Fake It Flowers', and I was like, 'Oh!

Bugallo also wrote that the song sees Beabadoobee "get raw" with her lyricism, "getting honest about what she has been through, and confronting those who have caused her pain, or have failed to listen to her when she needed a shoulder to cry on.

The album's second single "Sorry" was described by Jade Boren of ''Hollywood Life'' as a "perfect example" of Beabadoobee's "adeptness at combining angst and angelic vocals to create alternative rock bangers", noting that she enters an "even darker territory" than on the lead single "Care" because "instead of romance, this new track focuses on a dying friendship".<ref>{{Cite web|last=Boren|first=Jade|date=5 August 2020|title=Beabadoobee Confesses Her 'Mistakes' In Apologetic Anthem 'Sorry'|url=https://hollywoodlife.com/2020/08/05/beabadoobee-sorry-new-song-music-video/|access-date=6 August 2020|website=Hollywood Life|archive-date=7 August 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200807113428/https://hollywoodlife.com/2020/08/05/beabadoobee-sorry-new-song-music-video/|url-status=live}}</ref> The album's third single "Worth It" was described by James Rettig of ''Stereogum'' as "a chugging and compressed track about not wanting to fall back into bad relationship patterns."<ref>{{Cite web|last=Rettig|first=James|date=8 September 2020|title=beabadoobee Shares New Single "Worth It": Listen|url=https://www.stereogum.com/2097298/beabadoobee-worth-it/music/|access-date=4 October 2020|website=Stereogum|archive-date=13 September 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200913031710/https://www.stereogum.com/2097298/beabadoobee-worth-it/music/|url-status=live}}</ref> Peter Helman of ''Stereogum'' described "Together" as "a sticky, melodic rocker that explodes into its satisfyingly crunchy chorus."<ref>{{Cite web|url = https://www.stereogum.com/2102176/beabadoobee-together/music/|title = Beabadoobee – "Together"|date = 13 October 2020|access-date = 14 October 2020|archive-date = 15 October 2020|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20201015020848/https://www.stereogum.com/2102176/beabadoobee-together/music/|url-status = live}}</ref>

{{Blockquote|text=Beabadoobee is at her best when serving up exquisite pop songs in rock trappings, matching sweetly sung melodies with a surging, shimmering wall of guitars. The first two songs on the album, "Care" and "Worth It", are both a breathless rush, so dynamic and immaculately produced that they seem to document a real-time transformation from bedroom pop to arena rock. Perhaps an even more impressive achievement is "Sorry", a crashing, symphonically infused power ballad about teenage indiscretions that, in keeping with the weight of adolescent emotions, impacts like a sky full of meteors careening toward the same destination. Beabadoobee's star, on the other hand, is on the rise. It will be interesting to see how high she can soar and whether others will follow in her wake.|author=Chris DeVille for ''Stereogum''<ref name=":9" />}}
