Florrie was born in Bristol and attended Colston's Girls' School. She took up playing the drums when she was in Greece on a family holiday aged six. As a teenager she played in bands in her home town, eventually moving to London. A meeting with the manager of Australian singer Gabriella Cilmi led Florrie to successfully audition as the drummer in the houseband of Xenomania.
In February 2010, Florrie released a free download through her official site of "Call 911 (Fred Falke Remix)". Since then, she has also released several remixes of "Call 911" and a number of other original tracks, such as "Panic Attack", "Fascinate Me" and "You Wanna Start Something".
On 10 November 2010, Florrie released her debut EP Introduction, featuring four original tracks: "Call of the Wild", "Give Me Your Love", "Summer Nights" and "Left Too Late" .
Florrie's second EP, Experiments, was released on 14 June 2011. It includes "Begging Me", "Experimenting with Rugs", "She Always Gets What She Wants", "Speed of Light", "What You Doing This For" and "I Took a Little Something".
Florrie followed Experiments with another EP, Late, released on 31 May 2012 - it features "Shot You Down", "I'm Gonna Get You Back", "Every Inch" and "To The End".
After a number of independent releases, Florrie signed to Sony Music in early 2013. She collaborated with Sony in advertisements for their XBA-C10 headphones, also releasing the single "Live a Little" which appears in the spots.
In February 2014, Florrie announced her first major label release, the Sirens EP. Released in April, it features three songs - all of which receiving music videos - "Seashells", "Free Falling" and "Wanna Control Myself". A remix of the song "Little White Lies" was also included on the EP.
The former track was released as a single shortly after. It was officially released in August with an accompanying EP, featuring five remixes and updated versions of previously released songs "Left Too Late" and "Give Me Your Love".
Florrie announced her first single proper on Sony, "Too Young To Remember", in January 2015, and a partnership was revealed with clothing retailer H&M that saw her become the face of their H&M Loves Music collection, with a tie-in to the single.
As of February 2015, a release date or title has not been confirmed for Florrie's debut studio album, but it is expected to be released in summer 2015.

Every Inch
Florrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
You gotta earn every inch of my body babe
You gotta earn every inch of my body baby baby baby baby
You got money in your pocket
Your clothes are looking hot
But I ain’t looking for somebody like you
But I’m leaving on my own
Because I’m not the type of girl that goes through
You got money in your pocket
Your clothes are looking hot
But I ain’t looking for somebody like you
I know you wanna take me home
But I’m leaving on my own
Because I’m not the type of girl that goes through
You got money in your pocket
Your clothes are looking hot
But I ain’t looking for somebody like you
I know you wanna take me home
But I’m leaving on my own
Because I’m not the type of girl that goes through
You got money in your pocket
Your clothes are looking hot
But I ain’t looking for somebody like you
I know you wanna take me home
But I’m leaving on my own
Because I’m not the type of girl that goes through

The lyrics to "Every Inch" by Florrie are a clear statement of a woman's empowering approach to dating, romance, and sex. The chorus "You gotta earn every inch of my body babe" is a bold declaration that the person singing the song demands respect, admiration, and genuine interest before engaging in any physical intimacy. The verses are directed toward a man who may have wealth or material possessions, but the singer is not impressed by that nor is she looking for somebody like him.
The first verse, and later repeated in the second and third, focus on the idea that having money or good looks is not enough to attract the singer. She is not the type of girl that goes through with anything if there is no genuine attraction or interest. The second part of the song, the bridge, is focused on the idea of getting creative with the dating game. The singer states that if someone wants to be with her, they have to be a little crazy. This seems to imply that they are looking for something beyond the conventional dating scene and someone who is not afraid to take risks.
The lyrics give an informed and thought-through approach to love and romance, showing that the singer is selective in her criteria for a partner. She values respect, communication, and creativity, and ultimately seeks someone who will earn every inch of her body's devotion. Through these lyrics, Florrie highlights the idea that intimacy is not something that can be bought or taken for granted but rather something that must be earned through genuine respect and admiration.
