She is a member of the girl group Atomic Kitten and originated the role of Paulette in the first UK tour of Legally Blonde the musical.
In 1997, while McClarnon was still in secondary school, her music teacher arranged for her to take part in an audition with musician Andy McCluskey, who was aiming to create a new girl group. The group became Atomic Kitten, who released their first record in 1999.
McClarnon is the only original member of the initial line-up of Atomic Kitten (Heidi Range was replaced by Natasha Hamilton in 1999, and Kerry Katona was replaced by Jenny Frost in 2001). Although the trio no longer record together as a group, they occasionally reform for one-off performances.
Atomic Kitten had three UK number one singles, Whole Again, Eternal Flame, and The Tide Is High. They also had two UK number one albums, Right Now, and Feels So Good, both being certified double-platinum in the UK for sales of over 600,000 copies each. The total worldwide sales are estimated at 6.2 million singles and 4 million albums.
On 4 March 2012 it was confirmed that Atomic Kitten would reform.
Following Atomic Kitten, McClarnon was signed to All Around the World Records. She released her first solo single, a cover of Barbra Streisand's 1980 hit "Woman in Love", on 13 February 2006. The track was produced by Graham Stack along with Robin Gibb (of the Bee Gees), who also originally co-wrote the song and whom McClarnon accompanied on his 2005 tour.
A video was released to promote the song featuring McClarnon in a Manhattan apartment, but it was actually filmed in McClarnon's home town of Liverpool. It was decided to release the single as a double A-side with a cover of Jackie Wilson's "I Get the Sweetest Feeling". The single peaked at number 5 in the UK Singles Chart and, after more than six months on release, it peaked at number 16 in the Spanish charts on 22 October 2006. Also prior to her solo release, McClarnon appeared in the video for "Da Ya Think I'm Sexy?" with the FHM Hot 100, which charted at number 10 in the UK.
Since her first release, McClarnon has gone onto release one more single called "Don't It Make You Happy". The song was recorded in her bid to be selected for the UK's entry for the Eurovision Song Contest 2007 and McClarnon performed the track on the BBC's pre-Eurovision TV show Making Your Mind Up on 17 March 2007. However, she was unsuccessful and the single failed to chart the competition was won by pop band Scooch.
McClarnon also recorded a single entitled "Lately", with friend Jaime Jay for the Global One Music Project. The same song has been recorded by different artists all around the world in different languages, and in addition to English, McClarnon also recorded French and Spanish versions. The single was due to be released 18 May 2009, and although McClarnon and Jay had been promoting the single on a number of radio and TV shows, the release was postponed indefinitely..
Since then, McClarnon has continued recording her debut album. She parted ways with her old management company in April 2008, and is now managed by her ex-marketing manager, Scott Richardson at Belta CM. Her album has been cited for release sometime in Autumn 2010, with her first single from the album due for release in May 2010.
