In 2007, the oldest five girls of the family launched Cimorelli as a vocal group. They recorded covers of charting songs and uploaded them to YouTube every few weeks.
In 2008, the girls released their first EP Cimorelli. Each song was written by Christina and Lauren with the vocal harmonies arranged by Lisa. It has not been released under a record label.
Cimorelli became clients of Sugababes manager Sarah Stennett in 2009. In 2010, their youngest sister, Dani joined the band. The entire family of 11 children moved to Southern California so the girls could pursue their music career. They signed with Universal, and released the CimFam EP in iTunes on December 6, 2011. The EP features an original song and five covers.
In May 2012, Cimorelli won "The Bieber-Off", a contest by Ryan Seacrest where they covered Justin Bieber's hit "Boyfriend". In July, they were nominated for "Choice Web Star" at the 2012 Teen Choice Awards.
On December 3, Cimorelli announced they will be releasing the EP, Believe It on iTunes and Amazon, and their title track's music video on their VEVO YouTube channel, on December 11.
On June 18 Cimorelli released their fourth EP named "Made in America". It consisted of four songs which were all original - one of which was a studio version of their song Wings.
On May 4, 2014, Cimorelli performed at DigiFest in London. On June 7, 2014, Cimorelli performed at DigiFest NYC. On June 14, 2014, Cimorelli performed at DigiFest Toronto.

Cimorelli Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
My own worst enemy sometimes
Even at my lowest low, you still had hope
When I wanna quit, you won't let me
When I'm falling down, you gon' catch me
You pick me up, yeah, you fix me up
Now I'm on my way and I'm strong enough to say
When I was out there on my own
You gave me wings and brought me to life
And now I need to know
If you wanna fly, cause I wanna fly (yeah)
Tell me you('re) down for touching the sky (yeah)
You and me, me and you, the higher, the better
When we fly, we fly together, together, together, together, together
When we fly, we fly together
I feel like a prisoner locked up
The only key to set me free is your love
You went and took a chance on me
Without a reason to believe
When I wanna quit, you won't let me
When I'm falling down, you gon' catch me
You pick me up, yeah, you fix me up
Now I'm on my way and I'm strong enough to say
You gave me wings, and taught me to fly
When I was out there on my own,
You gave me wings and brought me to life
And now I need to know
If you wanna fly, cause I wanna fly (yeah)
Tell me you('re) down for touching the sky (yeah)
You and me, me and you, the higher, the better
When we fly, we fly together, together, together, together, together
When we fly, we fly together
I can be so negative sometimes
My own worst enemy sometimes
Even at my lowest low, you still had hope
When I wanna quit, you won't let me
When I'm falling down, you gon' catch me
You pick me up, yeah, you fix me up
And I'm on my way and I'm strong enough to say
You gave me wings, and thaught me to fly
When I was out there on my own
You gave me wings and brought me to life
And now I need to know
If you wanna fly, cause I wanna fly (yeah)
Tell me you('re) down for touching the sky (yeah)
You and me, me and you, the higher, the better
When we fly, we fly together, together, together, together, together
When we fly, we fly together, together, together, together, together
When we fly, we fly together
The song "Wings" by Cimorelli is about the power of a supportive relationship. The singer admits to sometimes being negative and their own worst enemy, but their partner is always there to lift them up and provide hope. The metaphor of wings comes in as the partner has given the singer the ability to fly and the confidence to pursue their dreams. The chorus repeats the desire for the partner and speaker to fly together, reaching new heights together. The singer acknowledges that their partner took a chance on them without reason, and the relationship has brought them to life.
Through the imagery of flying, the song conveys the feeling of freedom and limitless potential that comes with having the right person by your side. The lyrics invite the listener to imagine themselves soaring through the air with someone they care about, chasing their dreams and building a strong bond. The repetition of the chorus emphasizes the importance of this connection and the sense of shared adventure that comes with it.
