FLO enjoy the summer making plans, getting tans and traveling around the globe. The trio delivers great vocals and harmonies over an early 2000’s inspired R&B instrumental, reminiscent of girl groups like Destiny’s Child or TLC.
The group teased the track on an Instagram Live back on May 18, 20...
[Intro: Jorja]
Oh, oh, oh
Oh (Oh)
[Verse 1: Jorja & Renée]
Summertime, it's a vibe
Doin' what we do
Livin' life, mindin' mine (Mindin' mine)
So I don't care 'bout you (I don't)
I'm makin' plans, I need a tan
I need a penthouse view (Yeah)
Don't mean to brag, deep in my bag (Deep in my bag)
So I don't care 'bout you
[Pre-Chorus: Renée]
Know you see me (Uh), on some real heat (Uh)
With my crew, lookin' cute in my two-piece (Uh)
Don't even bother botherin' me
I'm catchin' flights without the feelings
Wanna party (Uh), wanna wild out (Uh)
Wanna dance to the beat 'til I pass out, ayy (Mm)
I'm tryna kick it with my ladies
Baby, yeah
[Chorus: All & Renée]
Me and my girls are going in this summer (Oh)
Rollin', rollin' in the back of the Hummer (Oh)
And we gon' do anything we wanna (Oh)
Yeah, we gon' do anything we wanna
Me and my girls are going in this summer (Oh)
Hair, nails, everything did like stunners (Oh)
And we gon' do anything we wanna (Oh)
Yeah, we gon' do anything we wanna
[Verse 2: Stella & All]
Said my drip and my shades are on
Might dip and chill in the sun
Flight trip to the Dominican
On God, I'm gone, on God, I'm gone (I am gone)
Lookin' so sensational
That my braids go down to the floor (Floor)
I walk 'round like a phenomenon
On God, I'm gone, on God, I'm gone
[Pre-Chorus: Renée, Jorja, Stella & All]
Know you see me (Yeah), on some real heat (Yeah)
With my crew, lookin' cute in my two-piece (Uh)
Don't even bother botherin' me (Don't, don't, don't bother)
I'm catchin' flights without the feelings (Feelings)
Wanna party (Yeah), wanna wild out (Yeah)
Wanna dance to the beat 'til I pass out, ayy
Ain't tryna have nobody's babies (No, no, no, no, no)
Baby, yeah (Oh, no)
[Chorus: All, Renée, Stella & Jorja]
Me and my girls are going in this summer (Said we goin' in)
Rollin', rollin' in the back of the Hummer (In the back of the Hummer)
And we gon' do anything we wanna (Ooh, woah)
Yeah, we gon' do anything we wanna (Ooh)
Me and my girls are going in this summer (Me and my girls)
Hair, nails, everything did like stunners (No, no)
And we gon' do anything we wanna (We gon' do, oh, yeah)
Yeah, we gon' do anything we wanna
