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.

Live A Little
Florrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Know what I gotta do to get my kicks
Cos I've read every single page
And I wouldn't say I'm crazy but
If you look in my eye
You might be surprised
I get a little dangerous
We gotta live a little, be naughty but nice
Just to give a little
A freak show show let's live a little
I'm gonna get what I want, so give a little
We gotta live a little, be naughty but nice
Just to give a little
A freak show show let's live a little
I'm gonna get what I want, so give a little
We're about to break
And I don't know how much more of this
You can take
I wanna see the animal in you escape
Oh can you feel the fire burning
Through your veins
You're about to break
We gotta live a little, be naughty but nice
Just to give a little
A freak show show let's live a little
I'm gonna get what I want, so give a little
We gotta live a little, be naughty but nice
Just to give a little
A freak show show let's live a little
I'm gonna get what I want, so give a little
We're about to break
And I don't know how much more of this
You can take
I wanna see the animal in you escape
Oh can you feel the fire burning
Through your veins
You're about to break
You're about to break
In "Live a Little," Florrie sings about taking risks and living life to the fullest. She notes that she has a "book of tricks" that she can use to have a good time, and encourages others to join her in being "naughty but nice." The idea of living a little is repeated throughout the chorus, with Florrie urging her listeners to give a little and show their wild sides.
The second verse introduces the idea that we are all on the brink of breaking free and letting our true selves show. Florrie sings of wanting to see the "animal" in her listeners escape and feel the fire burning through their veins. The repetition of the refrain "we're about to break" drives home the idea that we are all ready to let loose and have a good time.
Overall, "Live a Little" is a song about embracing our wild sides and taking chances. It encourages listeners to let go of their inhibitions and live life to the fullest, while also acknowledging that there may be some risk involved in doing so.
