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.

Give Me Your Love
Florrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No stranger trust
Your mind can set you free
You're playing with dangerous
Won't pay for love
I've got you on your knees
I've played my game
No escape back down
No I'm not the same
I've made my claim
Get your feet back on the ground
Oh won't be the one that got away
You know it baby
Oh I've got you hooked this time and
Predator catches it's prey
You're giving me, giving me, giving me love love
Giving me, giving me love
You're giving me, giving me, giving me love, boy
Give me some love, give me your love
You're giving me, giving me, you're giving me love love
You're giving me, giving me love
You're giving me, giving me, giving me love, boy
You're giving me love, give me love
You're giving me, giving me, giving me love, boy
Come give me some love, give me your love
You're giving me, giving me, giving me love, boy
Come give me some love, give me your love
If love had a price I'm sold
Not giving it up
They say I'm losing my touch
Oh oh

Babe if you give me some love
