After the release of "Cheetah Girls 2", Bryan, along with her fellow Cheetah Girls, toured the United States on their "The Party's Just Begun Tour" from September 2006 to March 2007. While touring, The Cheetah Girls began work on their official debut studio album. Bryan was interviewed by "Billboard" magazine, where she stated that the group was eager to showcase a "more mature" sound to gather an audience of older fans, while still keeping the lyrics clean for the younger fanbase as well. Williams was quoted as saying that the band members co-produced and co-wrote a "good portion" of the album. On September 25, 2007, TCG was released by Hollywood Records, with a debut of No. 44 on the "Billboard" 200 albums chart. It was the first album by the group not to be released by "Walt Disney Records". 126,000 copies have been sold to date.
