Background edit

On 30 March 2023, Flo embarked on tour in support of The Lead (2022). During the London concert of the Flo Live tour, they performed "Control Freak" for the first time.[4] On 3 July, Flo announced the EP on their Instagram and made two previously unreleased tracks along with the title track on all streaming platforms.[3][5]

A gift to the FLO Lifers who have been waiting so patiently for new music, we hope this will keep you fed whilst we finish off the album. Made with love.
