[6][7] Initially, they named themselves 'The Cercado Sisters' after their surname and began performing and competing as a girl group at festivals, events and talent shows in Roxas, Isabela.

They elected to join and eventually won 16 gold medals and four outstanding plaques and were proclaimed Junior Vocal Group Grand Champion of the competition.

[12] Early in 2013, the group landed a regular gig in the musical variety show Sarah G Live as backup singers and dancers.

[6] The group decided to submit an online application for the aforementioned reality TV competition, and, after a few months, received an invitation to audition for the show.

[19] In July 2015, the sisters traveled to London, and after going through several screening tryouts, eventually made it to the arena auditions for the 12th season of The X Factor.

[33] They then progressed to the "Judge's Houses" round, where they sang "Love the Way You Lie (Part II)" by Rihanna ft Eminem and were selected to move on to the live shows.

Being one of the two acts who received the fewest public votes, they had to perform against fellow contestant Lauren Murray for the last slot in the semi-final.

The result went into a deadlock and Lauren Murray, who had more public votes compared to 4th Impact, advanced to the semi-final which meant the group finished in fifth place.

[44][45] After the X Factor Live Tour, 4th Impact continued to perform in the UK and internationally, particularly in Dubai; UAE; Dublin, Ireland; Oslo, Norway; and Gibraltar.

[52] The group, with Star Music Philippines' backing, released their original debut single entitled "Unleash The Diva" in January 2017.

[57] In early January 2018, 4th Impact announced that they had recorded the official theme song for the Star Cinema movie 'Ang Dalawang Mrs. Reyes' entitled "It's Not The Same Anymore".

[59] On August 26, 2018, 4th Impact performed as the opening act for Boyzone in Manila (Farewell Tour) held at the Smart Araneta Coliseum.

[60] On March 10, 2019, 4th Impact performed as the opening act for Rita Ora's Phoenix World Tour held at the New Frontier Theater.

As the Philippines entered a country-wide lockdown, now considered to be one of the strictest quarantine protocols implemented in the world,[63] the group struggled but eventually managed to release their first single since going independent, K(No)w More, toward the end of March 2020.

[64] However the group could not promote their work properly given that they could not leave their home and was only able to connect with their audience via digital and social media platforms.

[65] They also released music video-esque song and dance covers on their Youtube channel to maintain fan and audience engagement.

[73][74] They achieved a first in their music career by being chosen to represent the Philippines at the Asia Song Festival (ASF) 2022 held in Seoul, South Korea on October 14, 2022.
