The British trio, made up of Renée Downer, Jorja Douglas, and Stella Quaresma, thanked Missy for making their dream come true.
“When this song was written we couldn’t have imagined a more iconic collaboration,” the trio tweeted. “We want to take a moment to thank @MissyElliott and her entire team for making this a dream come true.”
Missy Elliott responded to FLO with some advice: “Much love & May your careers continue to flourish through the roof & you all stay together through thick & thin!��🏾🤝fly girls💣🔥💃🏾”

In a statement, Missy Elliott said of the collab, “Working with FLO has been nothing less than amazing. I remember a few of their fans sent me clips of their performances, and I immediately felt the authentic 90’s vibe. I loved the fact they all sang lead so well – great vocal control – so when I was asked to be a part of the “Fly Girl” record, it was a no brainer. They used the inspiration from my song “Work It“, and I felt they did it justice. I enjoyed it and I believe they have a long, great career ahead of them.”
