Intro Lyrics
[Intro: Cynthia Erivo]
I would like to introduce you to a tenacious trio of talented young ladies
But before we proceed, a brief history lesson
Now, between the years of 2001 and 2002, there simply was not enough brilliance in the world
You see, planet Earth was in dire need of bad bitch replenishment
A trio, ready to receive the baton passed on by the likes of Destiny's Child (Destiny's Child)
The Sugababes (Sugababes), SWV (SWV)
And countless other iconic baddies of the past
And thus, in the fateful year of 2019, a pact was formed, a promise was made, a movement began
Our girls found each other
And meticulously prepared a feast for our ears
Miss Jorja, Miss Renée, Miss Stella
Ladies and gentlemen
And those who do not subscribe to either
Generously granting us access to all areas
This is FLO
[Verse 1: Renée, Stella, FLO]
Used to be jaded 'bout it
Jaded 'bout us, jaded 'bout love
Why don't we talk about it?
I was broken down (Yeah)
But I'm feelin' open now (Yeah)
Movin' at my own pace now (Yeah)
I'm hella focused now, oh (Oh, woah)
[Verse 2: Jorja, Stella, FLO]
Needed grace, needed time
Needed space to ease my mind
Don't worry about me and mine
We're doing fine
Change my number and address (Yeah)
Gonna have to do more than you did before
To acquire access (Yeah)
Yeah (Oh, woah)
[Verse 3: Stella & Renée]
I used to be a hard rock
Now I'm a gem, you see me shinin' (Shinin' and shinin')
Life used to be hard knock
Now the top's where I'm residin' (Residin')
So if you try to dim my light (If you try to dim my light)
You gon' get that shit denied, ah
[Chorus: All, Stella, Jorja, Renée]
Ladies and gentlemen (Yeah)
It's time to let you in
Make sure you're listenin'
From the beginning to the end
Take a seat; take a seat for the show
Let it breathe, let it flow
Let it flow (FLO)
[Outro: All, Renée, Jorja]
FLO (You gotta let it flow, oh-oh)
FLO (FLO)
Ah, ooh

What did FLO & Cynthia Erivo say about "Intro"?
Jorja Douglas:
We wanted to start this up in a really clear environment. And we spent the time to get it right. This is sultry and musical, we even added in bits with lovely strings—and finally asked [British actor and musician] Cynthia Erivo to narrate. She’s Black, British and so talented, she’s...
What did FLO say about working with Cynthia Erivo?
Jorja:
Having somebody so talented, who’s an incredible artist in their own right, narrate our body of work, is incredible. Anybody could’ve spoken a little monologue at the beginning, but what’s important is less what she’s saying, more who she is and what she stands for as an artist.
