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.

Little White Lies
Florrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I can't say no
My hands tied, I'm trying to stay afloat
I've been feeling like I'm out on the edge again
My breathing shallow, I can't pretend
Little white lies
Will never tell
Ain't hurting nobody
Little white lies
Nobody else needs to get hurt
Hope that nobody know
Little white lies
We keep to ourselves
Will never tell
Ain't hurting nobody
Little white lies
Nobody else needs to get hurt
Hope that nobody know
Victim of my own good intentions
I can't say no
And all my thoughts can't shove when I'm alone
Victim of my own good intentions
I can't say no
My hands tied, I'm trying to stay afloat
I've been feeling like I'm out on the edge again
My breathing shallow, I can't pretend
Little white lies
We keep to ourselves
Will never tell
Ain't hurting nobody
Little white lies
Nobody else needs to get hurt
Hope that nobody know
Little white lies
We keep to ourselves
Will never tell
Ain't hurting nobody
Little white lies
Nobody else needs to get hurt
Hope that nobody know
Florrie's song "Little White Lies" is about the conflicted feelings that come with telling half-truths. The lyrics convey a sense of being trapped and unable to say no, which results in telling these little white lies. Despite this, the person telling the lies convinces themselves that they are not hurting anyone, and that nobody else needs to get hurt. The song explores the idea that while these lies may seem small and insignificant, they can have a cumulative impact on a person's mental state over time.
The repetition of the line "Victim of my own good intentions, I can't say no" highlights the inner turmoil that the person telling the lies is experiencing. They are aware that what they are doing is not entirely right but struggle to break the cycle. The lyrics paint the image of an individual who has lost control and is just trying to stay afloat. The person telling these lies recognizes the harm that these little white lies can cause and hopes nobody will find out.
Overall, "Little White Lies" portrays the destructive nature of constant dishonesty, even when the lies told may seem small. It highlights the fragility of a person's mental state when they feel powerless to stop a cycle of self-deception.
