==History== ===2000β2002: 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.{{explain|date=November 2017|reason=What was Jessica's connexion to Angel and how did she come to join?}} 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#Covers|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]].'' ===2003β2004: 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 (1989 film)|The Little Mermaid]].'' Soon after singing the majority of leads in the band, [[Angel Faith|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 (1959 film)|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.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://popcrush.com/girl-group-almost-lady-gaga-member/|title=What Girl Group Almost Had Lady Gaga as a Member?|first=Amy|last=Sciarretto|website=PopCrush}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.mtv.com/news/2270940/jimmy-neutron-movie-soundtrack/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150915143016/http://www.mtv.com/news/2270940/jimmy-neutron-movie-soundtrack/|url-status=dead|archive-date=September 15, 2015|title=Here's Why The 'Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius' Soundtrack Is Still The Best Of All Time|first=Madeline|last=Roth|website=MTV News}}</ref> ===2005: Break-up=== Disagreements between the remaining four members of the group led to the eventual break-up of No Secrets in March 2005. Jessica Fried took on a solo career, signing with [[Reprise Records]] under the name Jessi Malay. Erin Tanner adopted the stage name Nicki Foxx and began working on solo material. In a 2007 interview, Fried commented on the break-up, stating that the girls got along great but greedy parental actions ended up breaking the group apart. In 2007, Angel Faith retired from the entertainment industry and began pursuing an education. In June 2009, she graduated magna cum laude from UCLA and went on to complete a doctorate degree in clinical psychology at Pepperdine University. Jade Ryusaki now resides in Hawaii as a model.
