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.

To the End
Florrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Thinking about everything
My heart can only give you a part
Of the love that you lost right at the start
Lying out in the dark
Thinking about everything
My heart can only give you a part
I will only bring you happiness
Boy you’re always wanting more
But if only you’d let
Just a little bit of happiness
Into your eyes
Then we can compromise
Forgive and forget
I will only bring you happiness
Boy you’re always wanting more
But if only you’d let
Just a little bit of happiness
Into your eyes
Then we can compromise
Forgive and forget
Baby we will take this to the end
Baby we will take this to the end
Lying out in the dark
Thinking about everything
My heart Can only give you a part
Of the love that you lost right at the start
I will only bring you happiness
Buy your hours more and more
But if only you’d let
Just a little bit of happiness
Into your eyes
Then we can compromise
Forgive and forget
I will only bring you happiness
Buy your hours more and more
But if only you’d let
Just a little bit of happiness
Into your eyes
Then we can compromise
Forgive and forget
Baby we will take this to the end
Baby we will take this to the end
Baby we will take this to the end
Baby we will take this to the end
Let’s not get over excited,
You want it bad then fight it,
Who knows what the future holds,
Better do what you’re told,
Every little piece of me,
I’ll give to you for free,
Happiness don’t mean a thing,
Until you let it in.
(I’ll love)
The song "To the End" by Florrie talks about a relationship where one person is always wanting more from the other. The singer of the song is lying out in the dark, thinking about everything, and she admits that her heart can only give a part of the love that her partner lost right at the start. This could mean that there were some unresolved issues or misunderstandings at the beginning of the relationship that harmed the love between them. The singer then says that she can only bring happiness, but her partner always wants more. She implores her partner to let a little bit of happiness into their eyes so they can compromise, forgive and forget. She repeats that they will take this relationship to the end, despite the difficulties they face.
The chorus of the song is repeated twice, with the phrase "Baby we will take this to the end" being the main message of the song. The singer wants to work things out with her partner, and believes that they can achieve true happiness if they let it in. The bridge of the song offers some advice to both partners - the singer tells her partner not to get too excited and that they should fight for what they want. She then offers a piece of herself to her partner for free, implying that their love shouldn't be a transactional affair. In the end, the singer tells her partner that they need to let happiness in and love each other despite their flaws.
