Music has taken the young members of Edens Edge on an intriguing journey and they are thankful for the ride. “We’ve really grown up together and we’ve moved here and created a life together and I think that kind of history is organic,” says Dean. “We came together naturally-- just for the purpose of having fun and playing music. That’s part our chemistry- we’re all doing something that we love together.”
Cherrill and Hannah agree. “We’ve grown together and changed together,” says Cherrill while Hannah adds, “We’ve found or have written music that moves us and inspires us. We just trust that the music will speak for itself. You do what you do and hope people will love it and can connect with it because our first love--as much as we love playing and writing music--our first love is inspiring others through music.”
Too Good to Be True was released in April 2012 as the group's second single, and their self-titled debut album was released via Big Machine Records on June 12, 2012.
In March 2013, it was announced that Edens Edge had parted ways with Big Machine Records and that member Hannah Blaylock had left the band.

Edens Edge Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
From the little girl you taught to fly
To the sun
To Misses Thorton, from third grade
I remember all the times you stayed
Till Daddy picked me up
Did I ever tell you so?
Oh I hope you understand
You have so much to do with who I am
To my older brother, Wes
I worshiped everything you did and said
I hope it didn't bother you
To Grandma Melva and Grandpa Lin,
What I'd give just to be five again
Singin' in your living room
Oh, did you ever know?
Did I ever tell you so?
Oh, I hope you understand
You have so much to do with who I am
To Arkansas summer wind,
To feelings that never end
To anyone who called me friend
All the blessings from above
To Mama's kiss and Daddy's hugs
I didn't say it near enough
Thank you for who I am
Oh, did you ever know?
Did I ever tell you so?
Oh, I hope you understand
You have so much
You have so much to do with who I am
To my first pony, Cherry Pie
From the little girl you taught to fly
You taught to fly
The lyrics of Edens Edge's "Cherry Pie" are a tribute to the people and experiences that have shaped the singer's life.

She then thanks her third-grade teacher Mrs. Thornton for the times she stayed after school until her father came to pick her up. This shows an appreciation of the extra attention and care that her teacher gave her, which made a difference in her life.
The next verses are dedicated to the singer's older brother, grandparents, friends, and parents. Each person represents a different aspect of the singer's life and the influence they have had on her. The chorus repeats throughout the song, repeating the line "Oh, I hope you understand, you have so much to do with who I am." This suggests that the singer is acknowledging the impact that each person has had on her life and the gratitude she feels for them.
Overall, "Cherry Pie" is a song about the power of connection and how the people we meet and experiences we have shape who we are as individuals.
