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.

Too Young to Remember
Florrie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
I'm too young to remember
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
Rewind and let's go back tonight, back to 1991
Batman and Super Mario, nevermind playing all night long
Mm-mm, you're unbelievable
Berlin is dancing on the wall
As the sun comes up, hey
Time has gone and my love is trouble
Get me more, yeah, you're now my trouble
Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay
I gotta be the situation, but I find a way to fire
Never giving up, I'm taking it higher
Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay
I'm too young to remember
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
I'm too young to remember
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
Rewind and let's go back again, back to 1989
Black Box playing on the stereo
Like a prayer, we ride on time
Big hair is my prerogative
If you don't know me by now
I can't take much more Karate Kid
I'mma show you how
Time has gone and my love is trouble
Get me more, yeah, you're now my trouble
Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay
I gotta be the situation, but I find a way to fire
Never giving up, I'm taking it higher
Ay-ay-ay, no way-ay-ay
I'm too young to remember
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
I'm too young to remember
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
Maybe if I took another chance I could live forever like this
Maybe I could dance all night to forget what I shouldn't have missed
I don't wanna hear about the girl with the halo doing no wrong
I could live my life like that, but I know that I wouldn't last long
Feeling too young to run, feeling to young to care about what happens
Too young to run, and I won't throw it all away
All I want is some fun, it don't mean I don't care about what matters
Tell me I'm wrong cause only one thing I gotta say
I'm too young to remember
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
I'm too young to remember
I wanna get, wanna get what I want, hey
Too young to remember
Too young to remember
Florrie's "Too Young to Remember" is a nostalgic pop song about yearning for the carefree days of one's youth. Throughout the song, the singer expresses a desire to experience the 80s and 90s all over again, dancing to the music of Black Box and the Karate Kid movies, and playing all night long with Batman and Super Mario. She longs to feel young and free, unencumbered by the responsibilities of adulthood. The chorus repeats the phrase "I'm too young to remember/I wanna get, wanna get what I want," which can be interpreted as a desire to reclaim the youthful energy and optimism of one's past, even though it may be impossible.
Throughout the song, the lyrics suggest a tension between wanting to live in the moment and wanting to hold onto the past. The singer acknowledges that she can't live forever in the past, but she also can't help feeling nostalgic for a time when everything seemed simpler and more fun. Despite these conflicting desires, the song remains upbeat and optimistic, with a sense that life is an adventure that should be embraced rather than feared.

Based on many of her other songs, it seems to me that Florrie prefers a sort of alt-electronica style most of the time. Nothing wrong with that, but I still think the somewhat more mainstream pop sensibility of "Too Young To Remember" fits her best. TYTR is definitely in the "alt pop" realm but has a more organic sound overall. I really wish she had done more music in this vein.
