Cherish is an American R&B music group consisting of sisters Fallon, Felisha, Farrah, and Neosha King.
Originating from Atlanta, both their parents are musicians, their father having been in the band Professions of Sounds, who frequently toured with acts such as the Emotions and Earth, Wind & Fire.
The group first rose to fame when they were featured on the single "In Love wit Chu", by Da Brat.
They quickly followed up with their official debut single, "Miss P.", which had minor success on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart in the US.
"[4] Cherish first rose to fame when they teamed up with female hip hop artist Da Brat to record a duet with her.
[6] Cherish's first solo single, titled "Miss P.", was produced by Jermaine Dupri, written by Kandi and featured Da Brat.
Other than a performance of the song on Soul Train in May 2003, the single received little promotion, which can be attributed to its commercial failure.
Due to the commercial failure of its lead single, the group's debut album, titled The Moment, was shelved a few months later.
It debuted at number four on the Billboard 200 selling 91,000 copies making it one of only a few R&B girl group projects to hit the top five on the chart in almost a year.
The single was received warmly by critics, however, it failed to achieve the commercial success that its predecessor had.
During this time Cherish was the only female group on select dates, as the opening act for Chris Brown's Up Close & Personal Tour, along with Ne-Yo, Lil Wayne, Julez Santana and Dem Franchize Boyz, which ran from August to October.
Farrah's son Jayden being sick caused the group to either cancel shows or shorten their live set when she was absent.
However, Cherish then embarked on a European promotional tour in November, and finished up the year with a few Jingle Jam shows in December.
They later confirmed that the album would feature production from artist such as Don Vito, Blade, Jazze Pha and Tricky Stewart.
In the Summer of 2007, a song titled "Bat to the Range", produced by the Clutch was leaked online.
It was later confirmed that the single was called Killa, and would feature Yung Joc on guest vocals.
The video premiered via BET's Access Granted on December 12, featuring some scenes of the film Step Up 2: The Streets.
In the US, the album only sold 13,000 copies in the first week of release, which led to it debuting at number 40 on the Billboard 200.
In Spring 2008, Fallon and Felisha confirmed that they were working on a side project that didn't involve the other two members of the group.
The fact they were working on solo projects made many fans speculate that the group was breaking up.
A few weeks later, the duo filmed a music video for the song "Don't Let Him Get Away" by Rasheeda, as the girls are featured on the track.
Later in 2010, Capitol Records confirmed that the remaining members of Cherish would be releasing a new album, titled "The Breakthrough".
On October 27, 2010, Fallon & Felisha did an exclusive interview with AceShowBiz, where they were asked on the status of Cherish as a group.

[14] On February 22, 2013, Cherish announced via their official Facebook that a single titled "Get That Boy" would be released on March 1, 2013.
