FLO – Don’t Break Her Heart (Official Video)

For relaxing nights or calm moments like a late drive, I recommend FLO, a vocal group based in London.

This song of theirs warns those who try to hurt their close friends, with solidarity and friendship as its themes.

It beautifully fuses choral work reminiscent of the golden era of ’90s–’00s R&B with contemporary pop sounds, and I think its gorgeous harmonies will lift your spirits.

Released in June 2026 as an advance single from the album “Therapy At The Club,” it’s a track you’ll definitely want to check out if you’re looking to spend a chill night, relaxing and chatting with friends you can truly trust.
