Its founding members, Naturi Naughton (born May 20, 1984), Adrienne Bailon (born October 24, 1983), and Kiely Williams (born July 9, 1986), signed with Epic Records, with Keily's mother Michelle serving as manager. Signed to Epic Records, their first single, "No More (Baby I'ma Do Right)", was released in early 2001. "No More" was a success, and was followed by "Playas Gon' Play" and 3LW, the group's first LP. 3LW spent the first half of 2002 in the studio, recording an album tentatively titled Same Game, Different Rules. The album and its intended lead single "Uh Oh" were presented to the label, who felt it didn't have enough urban radio appeal. The tracks from Same Game, Different Rules were leaked to the Internet in MP3 format, and Epic considered dropping the girls. A fan support campaign for 3LW spread to the radio, and the act was retained on the label. Recording a new set of tracks, 3LW returned in late summer 2002 with the P. Diddy-produced single "I Do (Wanna Get Close To You)", featuring Loon. The group was set to release its newest LP, A Girl Can Mack, when Naturi Naughton anounced that she was no longer a member of the group. Naughton alleged that the other two girls and their manager forced her out of the group, and that she left in the aftermath of a heated food fight between her and Kiely Williams. Williams and Adrienne Bailon continued as a duo, though still using the "3LW" name, leading to the press to jokingly refer to them as "2LW". After their late [[2002] single "Never Get Enuf" underperformed, auditions were held across the country for a new third member. Jessica Benson made the cut, and offiically joined 3LW in December. In fall 2003, 3LW departed from Epic, signing with Jermaine Dupri's So So Def label. The group's latest album, Phoenix Rising, was originally slated for release later that same year; it has had its release date pushed back several times since then. Besides their singing work, 3LW has appeared as guest stars on Christina Vidal's Nickelodeon show Taina. Discography
