The Cheetah Girls were an American girl group formed in 2003, primarily consisting of Adrienne Bailon-Houghton, Kiely Williams, and Sabrina Bryan. Raven-Symoné contributed as a member to two musical films and their associated soundtracks which featured the group.

The group began as a fictional quartet for the eponymous Disney Channel original musical film, which aired in 2003. The film became the highest-rated premiere for a Disney Channel Original Movie at the time and its soundtrack was certified double platinum by the RIAA. Following the success of the film, members Bailon, Williams, and Bryan began recording as a real vocal group while Symoné opted to focus on solo projects. In 2005, the trio released their debut studio album Cheetah-licious Christmas. The following year, Symoné returned for the sequel film The Cheetah Girls 2 and its platinum certified soundtrack, which would be her final work with the group. In 2007, the group released their second studio album TCG. In 2008, the group was featured in their final musical film The Cheetah Girls: One World.

The Cheetah Girls spawned numerous merchandise lines which included clothing, dolls, and video games. The group embarked on three North American tours: Cheetah-licious Christmas Tour, The Party's Just Begun Tour, and One World Tour. They have sold over 11 million records worldwide.^[1]
