==Background==
While working as back-up dancers for Usher in his 2004 ''Confessions'' tour, Kyndra "Binkie" Reevey and Lesley Lewis asked Sarah Rosete if she wanted to be a part of their girl group. Rosete agreed to join, but requested that they meet with her best friend Naomi Allen, who they "fell in love with". The group moved to Los Angeles, where they began working with different producers, including Shannon "Slam" Lawrence and Rodney Jerkins.〔 The group officially formed Electrik Red in 2005. They continued to work as professional dancers, individually appearing in videos for artists such as Mariah Carey, and Janet Jackson.〔 After individually performing as dancers and models, they appeared together in Ciara's video for "Like a Boy".〔 In late 2007, Allen and Rosete were cast in the video for The-Dream's single "Shawty Is a 10".〔
After Shakir Stewart, then-Executive Vice President of Def Jam Recordings, organized an audition for the group with label chairman L. A. Reid, they were signed to the label on February 23, 2008.〔〔 Stewart then organized a meeting for the group with The-Dream and Tricky Stewart, who cosigned Electrik Red to their Def Jam-based label, Radio Killa.〔 From then, the pair began producing their music and executive produced their debut album. The group explained they named the album as a "play on the stereotype of what a lady is supposed to be, how she is supposed to act and what she is supposed to say. We're bringing a new age woman to the world". The group wanted to show that it was "okay to be different".
