Songfacts®:

  • This song takes the word "leak"- a term that, in the digital age, tends to arrive with a lawyer and a sense of dread - and flips it into an act of voluntary, celebratory self-disclosure. Flo weaponizes the word to say: we look this good, so why would we keep it secret?

    The trio - Jorja Douglas, Renée Downer and Stella Quaresma - explained: "'Leak It' unlocks a core memory of being a young girl, listening to girl group music and feeling empowered!"

    If this all feels like the spiritual cousin of Demi Lovato's "Confident" or even the gloriously unbothered shrug of Lizzo's "Good As Hell," that's because "Leak It" operates in the same proud lineage of songs that don't just boost your ego, they hand it a megaphone and a well-lit stage.
  • Leak it, too hot to keep it secret
    My phone is overheating


    The overheating phone does double duty: on one level, it's what happens when you ask a small electronic rectangle to process greatness in high definition; on another, it's the lyrical equivalent of steam coming out of your ears, except here it's confidence, not frustration. Think less technical malfunction, more glamorous combustion.
  • Tomorrow, might delete it, but tonight, I wanna leak it
    I'm feeling so conceited, my body's undefeated


    There's a wink here at the fleeting nature of online life, the knowledge that today's viral moment is tomorrow's "remember when," but Flo treat that impermanence like a minor scheduling issue. Confidence, after all, doesn't need a long shelf life; it just needs a good night out.
  • All three Flo members wrote "Leak It" alongside Julian Bunetta and Steph Jones, the duo behind Sabrina Carpenter's "Espresso," another track that runs on pure, caffeinated self-assurance.
  • Production comes courtesy of Bunetta and Grant Boutin, whose résumé includes shaping sleek high-gloss pop for Tate McRae.
  • Released on March 20, 2026, the song arrived on the heels of a widely acclaimed Flo performance on NPR's Tiny Desk.
  • The video, directed by Olivia De Camps (who's also worked with BlackPink's Lisa and Rebecca Black), drops Flo into a wellness retreat that teaches "the unspoken rules of modern fame." The group called it "the video we dreamt of having as teenagers," neatly completing the circle: from watching confidence anthems to becoming one.
