Losing You

"**Losing You**" stands as a release from FLO, unveiled on **December 15, 2022**. This soulful track, produced by Joe Gosling, MNEK, and RELYT, delves into the theme of parting ways with a relationship tainted by unfaithfulness and diminishing interest. The lyrics encapsulate the realization that moving on and finding happiness can be a surprisingly uncomplicated journey.

### Background

Following their **BRITs Rising Star Award** win in December 2022, just seven months after their debut single, "**Losing You**" serves as a poignant follow-up to "Not My Job." The London-based trio—Stella Quaresma, Renée Downer, and Jorja Douglas—showcase their musical versatility in this heartfelt slow jam, revealing a more vulnerable side compared to their previous tracks.

In a press release, FLO shares insights into the song, stating, “*It’s fitting that ‘Losing You’ is being released this time of the year as it’s all about going through a loss but somehow being comforted by it. It reminds you of how content you are by yourself and finding that cheerful spirit during a tough time.*” With its emotive lyrics and soulful harmonies, "*Losing You*" marks another compelling chapter in FLO's musical journey.

### Lyrics

"**Losing You**" by FLO delves into the emotional aftermath of a relationship marked by broken promises and disloyalty. The first verse vividly paints domestic disarray, with neglected dishes symbolizing communication breakdown and a sense of resignation about the partner's unfaithfulness.

The refrain underscores the emotional toll of broken promises and a disillusionment with the partner's perceived lack of loyalty. The speaker emphatically declares being "*done with this*," emphasizing the minimal effort from the partner, encapsulating the sense of betrayal.

The pre-chorus reflects on the speaker's role of unwavering support, lifting the partner without reciprocation. A turning point is reached with the phrase "*I tapped out, I tapped out*," signifying the speaker's decision to disengage from an unsustainable relationship.

In the chorus, parting ways with the partner is portrayed as a positive transformation. The speaker finds solace in solitude, experiencing newfound happiness and feeling at home. Losing the partner becomes a catalyst for personal growth and resilience.

The second verse reinforces independence, rejecting attempts at communication and signaling maturity by avoiding games and drama. The phrase "*Quit playin', you don't want no smoke*" highlights the speaker's reluctance to engage in unnecessary conflicts.

The bridge solidifies the theme of self-sufficiency and liberation. The speaker confidently asserts not needing the ex-partner and being content alone. The reference to providing heaven but now descending into hell signifies a shift in dynamics. The ex-partner's attempt to find someone similar is dismissed with a casual "*oops*," acknowledging their loss.

* Lyrics

[Verse 1: Renée]

Dishes in the sink, I ain't have no time to think

I don't even ask you where you been

I know you're with some other bitch

[Refrain: Renée, *All*]

All these broken promises (*Yeah*)

You don't know what loyal is (*Yeah*)

I'm so done with this

You're only givin' ten percent (*Ooh, ooh*)

[Pre-Chorus: Jorja, *All*]

Always lift you up and never let you down (*Ooh, ooh*)

That's the reason you were keepin' me around (*Ooh, ooh*)

I couldn't see myself without you, but look now

I tapped out, I tapped out (*Oh*)

[Chorus: Stella]

Losing you was easier than I thought it'd be

I'm happy on my own

It's the first time I finally feel at home

Losing you has givin' me everything I need

I'm happy that you're gone

For the first time I'm finally feeling strong

[Verse 2: Jorja, *All*]

Don't bother callin' on my phone (*No*)

I'll put you straight to busy tone (*No*)

Ain't with the games, I'm way too grown (*No*)

Quit playin', you don't want no smoke (*No, oh-oh*)

[Refrain: Jorja, *All*]

All these broken promises (*Yeah*)

You don't know what loyal is (*Yeah*)

I'm so done with this

You're only givin' ten percent (*Only givin' ten percent to me*)

[Pre-Chorus: Renée, *All*]

Always lift you up and never let you down (*Ooh, ooh*)

That's the reason you were keepin' me around (*Ooh, ooh*)

I couldn't see myself without you, but look now

I tapped out, tapped out (*Oh*)

[Chorus: Stella, *Renée*, **All**]

Losing you was easier than I thought it'd be (*Thought it'd be, bae*)

I'm happy on my own (*So happy*)

It's the first time I finally feel at home (**Feel at home**, *Home*)

Losing you has givin' me everything I need

I'm happy that you're gone (*Gone*)

For the first time I'm fine, I'm finally feeling strong (**Feeling strong**)

[Post-Chorus: Stella & *Renée*]

Losing you, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You, ooh-ooh, ooh

You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh (*Losing you*)

You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

You, ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh

I finally feel so much better, better

[Bridge: Jorja, *Renée*, **Stella**, & ***All***]

I don't need you, I'm good by myself (***Good by myself***)

*Gave you heaven now it's gone to hell* (***It's gone to hell***)

**Heard you missin' me, oops** (***Oops***), oh, well (***Oh, well***)

***Tryna find another one like me*** (**That's an L**)

[Chorus: Stella, *Renée*, **Jorja**, ***All***]

Losing you was (*Oh, it's easier*) easier than I thought it'd be (*Than I thought it'd be*)

I'm happy on my own (**My own**)

It's the first time I finally feel at home

Losing you has givin' me (*Givin' me*) everything I need (*Said it's givin' me, boy*)

I'm happy that you're gone (**I'm happy you're not**)

For the first time I'm finally feeling strong (***Losing you***)

Oh-oh (***Losing you***)

[Outro: All & *Stella*]

Mm-hmm-mm, mm-mm-hmm

*You, ooh-oh, woah*

Oh-ooh-oh, no
