00:00This new era of Flo is more mature, she is a bit naughty.
00:05She's grown, she's sexy, she's strong.
00:08Yeah, open.
00:09She's confident.
00:22This song represents being confident and happy and free and powerful in any type of situation,
00:27like it could be in your relationship with your partner, it could be on your own vibe,
00:32you're giving yourself life and giving yourself love, exactly.
00:36It's a great feel good song.
00:57I can be a lot but he can't manage it.
01:00We wanted to be powerful and we wanted to own it.
01:03Yeah, I'm staying at his house.
01:05Yeah, I'm not looking at my phone because I don't want to talk to anybody else.
01:08Yes, my makeup is on his mattress.
01:10And what?
01:11And what?
01:13I loved doing that verse because I really felt like I could put my foot into it, you know?
01:19And you did.
01:19You did.
01:21Both feet.
01:21Both feet.
01:27Nobody does my body how he does my body.
01:29He got this thing on lock.
01:32The way he does it I ain't trying to hear nobody.
01:34No, no.
01:37The way that he squeezes and touches it.
01:42If he keeps this up I might need crutches like.
01:44I love the way Georgia skips on the beat.
01:48Yeah.
01:49I thought I was the rapper but I'm not.
01:50Nobody does my body how he does my body.
01:52Does my body.
01:53Does my body.
01:53Yes.
01:54We had to kind of just like be a bit fun with it, you know?
01:56Just be a bit like.
02:00Like it's just a bit of a joke.
02:02Yeah.
02:02It's a bit of a joke.
02:03It's a bit of a daydream.
02:04But it's still like sexy.
02:05My favorite would have to be.
02:07If he keeps this up I might need crutches like.
02:09Iconic.
02:10It's a bar.
02:11So iconic.
02:12And then let's talk about the video when Georgia delivers that line.
02:15With the tongue.
02:16With the tongue.
02:17Slay serve.
02:18Slay serve.
02:18Slay serve.
02:19Slay serve.
02:21There's a reason I walk like this.
02:23I walk.
02:24My baby he be loving on this.
02:25Oh yeah.
02:26When he do it he be walking that shit.
02:28Oh yeah.
02:28Every night he got me wanting more of it.
02:31There's a reason I walk like this.
02:33I walk.
02:34Side to side with a sway in my hip.
02:35Sway sway.
02:36When he do it he be walking that shit.
02:38Yeah.
02:38Every night he got me wanting more of it.
02:40I think we get our confidence to walk like this from a lot of the females in our lives.
02:46Like our mothers, our inspirations and also our choreographer Lisa Spencer.
02:51We did some classes with her and she spent a lot of time teaching us how to walk.
02:56There's also the iconic walk of shame and we rebranded that and we made it.
03:01It's not shameful.
03:02It's not.
03:02Unless you make it.
03:03Exactly.
03:04You know?
03:04Happens.
03:05Happens.
03:06Own it.
03:06It's not a walk of shame when a man does it.
03:10Why is it a walk of shame when it can't be?
03:13I love how Renee sings about riding it.
03:16What is she riding?
03:17It doesn't even matter.
03:18No.
03:18But she said it with them and her passion.
03:20The up.
03:21The up.
03:21Exactly.
03:22And she did it.
03:23Right.
03:42Bridges are important.
03:58You can switch the mood.
04:00You can switch the vibe.
04:01You can take it up.
04:02You can take it down.
04:03You can say something slightly different in it and you can be more musical and just add excitement.
04:09What's special about the bridge and walk like this is that it's not like any other bridge we have.
04:14I love how we all sing.
04:16It's like a whole three-part harmony the whole way out.
04:20That's just like so iconic.
04:22Yep.
04:24Ad-libs is just another layer.
04:25Picking up on certain parts of the lyrics to emphasize them like that.
04:29Swaying my hips.
04:32Move my body right and left.
04:34Yeah.
04:34Move my body right and left.
04:35Move it!
04:35How can we forget?
04:38Do it again.
04:40Because please.
04:41Do it again.
04:41Please.
04:42Do it again.
04:43Do it.
04:46Ad-libs are so important.
04:48Ad-libs are so important to us and there are many more to come.
