History

2000–2002: Formation, debut album and tour

No Secrets was formed by Carly's father, Adrian Gurvitz, a music producer from London. She wrote a letter to him asking to put a group together. Soon after, Jade was invited; Carly and Jade's mothers were friends. Erin, Jade's cousin, joined next. Later, the three girls found Angel in an advertisement for a singing group; she joined, bringing Jessica with her. Once the group line-up had been completed, No Secrets began recording songs for their debut album. The girls worked with a variety of producers and songwriters, including Adrian Gurvitz, Andy Goldmark, and Riprock 'n' Alex G. The process took a number of months. They took a break from recording and album prep to go touring and promoting their group. In July 2001, No Secrets joined Aaron Carter in Toronto for the shooting of his video "Oh Aaron" and provided backing vocals for the song. They were also featured in another track of off his album, "Stride (Jump on the Fizzy)." In 2002, after touring with Carter for four months, they filmed their first video, the home VHS and DVD release No Secrets - Get to Know Us, and resumed work on their album.

Later that year, the group released their self-titled debut album, with singles "That's What Girls Do" and "Kids in America." The latter was featured in the soundtrack for the 2001 film Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius and its music video was included as a bonus for the film's VHS release. "That's What Girls Do" played in the end credits of The Powerpuff Girls Movie, and its music video was a bonus feature on the DVD. The song would later be used in The Hot Chick. They also recorded "Little Angel of Mine" for the soundtrack of Stuart Little 2.

2003–2004: Faith's departure and Friends Forever

In early 2003, No Secrets was featured on DisneyMania singing a cover of "Kiss the Girl" from The Little Mermaid.

Soon after singing the majority of leads in the band, Angel left the group to pursue a solo career, releasing the album Believe in Angels... Believe in Me in 2004, just as the finishing touches were being put on No Secrets' second album, Friends Forever. The album was released with Angel featured in the artwork because it was too close to the release date and too far in production to make any changes. The four remaining members recorded and shot a video for the song "Once Upon (Another) Dream" for Disney's 2003 DVD release of Sleeping Beauty. At one point, many rumors floated about a new member joining the girl group, but no official statements were ever made. Until blog posts and other articles were created a few years later stating, Lady Gaga was confirmed to promptly replace Angel in late 2003 but after her manager backed out of the project too early, Gaga (then known as Stefani) didn't make it into the group.

2005: Break-up and future

Disagreements between the remaining four members of the group led to the eventual break-up of No Secrets in March 2005.
