Flower Child is a psychedelic rock composition written by Lenny Kravitz, released on his debut album Let Love Rule in September 1989 on Virgin Records. Appearing as track 13 on the original CD release, the piece exemplifies the spacious, atmospheric production approach that defined Kravitz's early work, drawing from 1960s counterculture aesthetics both musically and lyrically. The composition features a gentle, languid character that emphasizes instrumental texture and mood over conventional pop song structure, with saxophone serving as a prominent melodic voice alongside layered keyboards and a warm rhythm section. The harmonic language remains consonant and inviting, supporting pastoral lyrical imagery of purple velvets and champa-scented air. Kravitz's multi-instrumental approach is on full display, as he wrote, produced, and performed nearly all instruments on the record. The tune was remastered for the 20th Anniversary Edition of Let Love Rule in 2009 on Capitol Records. While it remains a deep cut rather than a widely covered standard, lacking the profile of the album's singles like Let Love Rule or Mr. Cab Driver, the track holds appeal for listeners drawn to Kravitz's psychedelic and soul-influenced side. On AllSolos, the composition is represented through Karl Denson's tenor saxophone solo from the original 1989 recording.
