A singer since age six, McClave began auditioning for roles in musicals in her early teens; producer Rodney Jerkins was at one of those auditions and decided she would be the featured vocalist for his new girl group, the 3Gs. However, finding the right mix of other singers proved difficult, and the 3Gs disbanded. McClave continued to work with some of the other producers involved in the 3Gs; together, they decided to move in a more rock-oriented direction. McClave contributed a track to the Cheetah Girls soundtrack and another song to the Legally Blonde 2 soundtrack, which was credited to Hope 7 even though the band's lineup was still being finalized. By early 2004, Noble, Martinez, and Rodriguez had joined the band, and Hope 7 began playing and recording in earnest.

A tour with the ATV pro volleyball tournament and the single "I Want Everything," which also appeared on the Sleepover soundtrack, were two of the band's highlights that year. Another single, Breakthrough, arrived later in 2004. Their debut album was released in 2005. They disbanded after its release, and no longer play together.

Hope 7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

If there's a word of kindness from you I never heard it
And nobody else but me could spin around this lousy day until it's perfect
Just you wait and see

Whoa whoa, I'm gonna breakthrough
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do
Whoa whoa, with or without you
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do

La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me, I'm too busy having fun
La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me, I'm too busy

If there's a key to this hidden door I'm gonna find it
And no one can keep me out of the sun and when the wind starts to come I'll never mind it
There was never a doubt

'Cause I have the power to change my life one day at a time
And hour by hour, I'll be fine
And I'll be alright

Whoa whoa, I'm gonna breakthrough
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do
Whoa whoa, with or without you
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do

La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me, I'm too busy having fun
La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me, I'm too busy

'Cause I have the power to change my life one day at a time
And hour by hour, I'll be fine
Yeah I'll be alright

Whoa whoa, I'm gonna breakthrough
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do
Whoa whoa, with or without you
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do

If there's a word of kindness from you I never heard it
And nobody else but me could spin around this lousy day until it's perfect
Just you wait and see

Whoa whoa, I'm gonna breakthrough
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do
Whoa whoa, with or without you
I'm gonna have some fun, that's what I'm gonna do

La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me, I'm too busy having fun

La la la la la, la la la la la
Don't bother me, I'm too busy (fades 'til end)
