While working on the album, both Bailon and Williams signed on to star in the Disney Channel film "The Cheetah Girls". They starred as two of four members of a female girl group named after the film, with Raven-Symoné and Sabrina Bryan portraying the final two members. The movie was released in August 2003 and was a ratings success. The Cheetah Girls soundtrack debuted at No. 33 on the "Billboard" 200 and was later certified 2x Platinum by the RIAA. Walt Disney Records soon created a real-life girl group, composed of Adrienne, Kiely, and Sabrina. Raven was offered a spot in the group but declined, opting to focus on her solo career and her television series "That's So Raven". The trio began working on their first studio album, later revealed to be a Christmas album. The album, titled "Cheetah-licious Christmas", was released that year, and they soon left Walt Disney and signed to Hollywood Records in 2006.
