Burgeoning R&B trio FLO were recent musical guests on Jimmy Kimmel Live!, as part of its Mercedes-EQ concert series.
For their late-night television debut, they performed “Cardboard Box” from their debut EP, The Lead.
The British trio, composed of Jorja, Stella and Renée, brought the look, attitude and vocals for this amazing performance.

Noted above, “Cardboard Box” is lifted from The Lead, FLO’s first collection of songs. It was treated as the EP’s lead single and has amassed over 11.5 million streams since releasing on March 24.
In July, FLO spoke to Rated R&B to break down every song from The Lead, including “Cardboard Box.”
“I remember it being really easy to write ‘Cardboard Box,’ It was one of our first sessions with MNEK, who is the most talented person in the world. We was just having a conversation — because usually in the beginning of sessions, you just have a chat about what’s going on in your life at that moment in time. I know it was a bit of a rough time for me,” Jorja recalled.
Renée added, “The just words came. It was like [creating] a happy breakup song. You know you’re going through a situation, but you still wanna feel good about it.”
Since then, FLO has stayed hot on the promotional trail for The Lead, performing for Vevo’s DSCVR series and releasing a video for “Summertime.”

In September, FLO premiered a new song titled “Not My Job.” MNEK and Tré Jean-Marie produced it.
“We are obsessed with ‘Not My Job’ and feel like every single day we say ‘it’s not my job’ to someone,” FLO said in a joint statement. “Everyone solves issues other people have created, whether it’s in a romantic relationship, family drama or at work, and sometimes you just gotta say, ‘It’s really not my job.’”
