• Here, Flo Milli's dropping rhymes about a high-life romance, stacking cash with her man. She's not shy about the bedroom talk either and gets real explicit. Flo's not just talking the talk; she's claiming she's top tier, into bougie dudes with street smarts, packing heat. She's a catch and she knows it.
• Though the verses are an affirmation of self-worth and confidence, there's some vulnerability too. On the hook, Milli fears her man might be eyeing the exit, so she's on a mission to make him stay. She sells herself as the ultimate ride-or-die chick, the kind of girl you'd be dumb as hell to let go.
• Flo Milli lays down her slick and seductive verses on a beat sampled from Babyface Ray & 42 Dugg's 2023 banger "Ron Artest." The producer behind that track, Gerreaux, also gets props for cooking up the beats on "Never Lose Me."
• Back in the fall of 2023, a snippet of "Never Lose Me" went viral on TikTok, amassing over 100,000 posts in just under two months. Released as a single on December 1, 2023, it entered the Hot 100 four weeks later, becoming Flo Milli's first entry on the chart.
• There are five takes of the song on the Never Lose Me EP, including remixes with Lil Yachty and Bryson Tiller and slowed-down and sped-up versions.
  
  "It wasn't really planned; Yachty had reached out - he told me he loved it and we started communicating on that end," Flo told Billboard about the Yachty and Tiller remixes. "I sent it to Bryson. That happened because he was hitting me on DMs [before it was officially out], like, 'Drop this s--t. This song has been in my head.' I was like, 'You should put a little verse on it,' and that's how that came about."
• "Never Lose Me" began with a late-night freestyle session in the studio. Originally focused on other projects, Flo decided to play around with the "Ron Artest" beat before leaving. "I asked the engineer to pull up this beat - that's when I started rapping," she recalled.
  
  "For the 'Never Lose Me' part, I'm such a perfectionist," Flo continued. "Until I get a line right and it sounds like how it sounds in my head, I'll do it so many times. I just kept saying, 'You never wanna lose me.' I wasn't expecting it to blow. I was just doing it for me."
• Flo Milli laid down a further remix with SZA and Cardi B for her Fine Ho, Stay album. It finds each artist confidently asserting their own brand of allure and power in their relationships.
