The four original 10-inch (25 cm) dolls were released on May 21, 2001 β Yasmin, Cloe, Jade, and Sasha. They featured almond-shaped eyes adorned with eye shadow and lush and big glossy lips. Bratz reached great success with the expansion to spin-offs including Bratz Kidz, Bratz Boyz, Bratz Babyz and Bratzillaz and a media franchise consisting of discography and adaptations into a TV series, a web series, a live-action film and video games. Global sales of the entire franchise grossed $2 billion in 2005 and by the following year, the brand had about 40 percent of the fashion-doll market.
The Bratz doll lines have provoked controversy in several areas from their stylized proportions to fashion-forward clothing, capitalizing closely on pop culture trends. Since the brand's launch in 2001, franchise distributor MGA Entertainment got embroiled in a lengthy legal dispute with Mattel over the rights to its design, which ended in 2011 with MGA as the victors. Related litigation is ongoing in a lawsuit by MGA alleging Mattel's theft of trade secrets.
MGA has paused the Bratz brand since the onset of the litigation and rebranded it several throughout its lifespan, with the first of those coming in 2010 after Mattel's first lawsuit, only to return later that year to commemorate the brand's 10th anniversary. In 2013, Bratz changed to have a taller bodies, an all-new logo and branding, and continued through 2014, in an effort to return the brand to its roots. As a result, none of the 2014 product line was made available in North Americas.
In July 2015, Bratz relaunched a second time with new doll lines and introducing a new main character, Raya to the debut lineup from its 2001 launch as well as a new slogan and website design. The bodies were changed to be 10" (25 cm) tall again, but with new bodies and head molds. These dolls were met with negative reactions from fans, as the brand was more oriented towards younger kids rather than tweens and teens like the previous dolls. Due to the poor reception and sales, the dolls were once again discontinued in 2016.
In September 2018, a new line of dolls called "Bratz Collector" were designed by fashion illustrator Hayden Williams and released exclusively on Amazon. The brand featured closely resemblance to the original 2001 doll line. In June 2021, for their 20th anniversary, Bratz released near-replicas of the debut dolls from its 2001 launch.

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Gotta work, gotta try, gotta search
Till I find what I want
'Cause that's what I need (what I need)
Theres a will, there's a way
I'll be strong, not afraid
'Cause I believe in me
Never holding back 'cause I know I can
And now's the time to start
'Cause I realize that I can find
The strength inside my heart
I wont stop, never slowing down
I'm never giving in
I won't stop, doesn't matter how
Long it takes, in the end
I know I'm gonna win
I won't stop
Gonna find a way
Give it everything I've got
No, I won't stop, I've got what it takes
Gonna reach for the top and I won't ever stop
Yeah
Oh, oh, oh
When you see that it's tough, but there's no giving up
Look inside for the strength, you can make it
You can stumble and fall, even get through it all
Whatever they give we can take it
Never holding back 'cause I know I can
And now's the time to start
'Cause I realize that I can find
The strength inside my heart
I wont stop, never slowing down
I'm never giving in
I won't stop, doesn't matter how
Long it takes, in the end
I know I'm gonna win
I won't stop
Gonna find a way
Give it everything I've got
No, I won't stop, I've got what it takes
Gonna reach for the top and I won't ever stop
Won't stop, no, never gonna stop, no
I'm gonna say it again (say it again)
Won't stop, no, never gonna stop, no
I'm gonna win in the end
I wont stop, never slowing down

No, I won't stop, I've got what it takes
Gonna reach for the top and I won't ever stop
Gonna reach for the top and I won't ever stop
Gonna reach for the top and I won't ever stop
