Except for Carly Lewis, who was born in London, England, the members of No Secrets grew up in Los Angeles. Carly, who is the daughter of Adrian Gurvitz, a famed guitarist, took the first steps toward forming No Secrets in 2000, when she convinced her father that it was her dream to become a musician, and that he could make it come true. The pair then decided to form a girl group. Cousins Jade Ryusaki and Erin Tanner, who were both of Hawaiian descent and had performed as hula dancers, were scouted and subsequently joined the group. Then, Gurvitz placed an advertisement in a local newspaper, and Angel Faith answered, bringing her friend Jessica Fried along with her.
Once the group line-up had been completed, No Secrets began recording songs, touring, and promoting their group. In June of 2001, No Secrets joined Aaron Carter in Toronto for the shooting of his video Oh Aaron, and they also collaborated in the taping of the song, providing background vocals. In 2002, they filmed their first video, a home VHS and DVD video named No Secrets - Get to Know Us. Later, in 2002, the group released their self-titled debut album, which included That's What Girls Do (from The PowerPuff Girls Movie) and Kids in America (from Jimmy Neutron: Boy Genius), a remake of the 1982 hit that was popularized by Kim Wilde.
However, disagreements between members of the group led to the eventual break-up of No Secrets. At one point, Carly, Jade, Erin, and Jessica recorded a remake of Atomic Kitten's hit "Whole Again," excluding (and unbeknownst to) Angel (coincidentally, fellow girl group Play had also covered "Whole Again" in the same time period and released it as a single from their album Replay). Angel, who had sung the majority of leads in No Secrets, then left the group to pursue a solo career. The four remaining members recorded and shot a video for the song "Once Upon Another Dream" for Disney's re-release of Sleeping Beauty, but they parted ways soon after this.
Besides Angel Faith, Jessica Fried is also said to be pursuing a solo career, under the name "Jessi Malay." Erin Tanner has adopted the stage name "Nicki Foxx" (sometimes just "Nicki") and is also working on solo material.
In August of 2005, Carly Lewis married her fiancee Brian Merrick. Former No Secrets members Jade, Jessica, and Erin were among Carly's bridesmaids.
Friends Forever
No Secrets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Like they're meant to be
And suddenly you've found someone
Who sees the world like you see
And you laugh like crazy
At all the crazy things
That no one thinks are funny but you
That I had a friend so true
If my world were crumbling down
You are the one I'd want around
Cause through everything you've shown me that
You were the one who had my back
Remember the laughs
Then add up the dreams
And take it to the nth degree
We'll be friends forever
Cause you'll be forever in my heart
That's where best friends are
There will always be hard times
I'm glad I've got you to see me through
And I will never forget your smile
I just have to say thank you
For being there always
Even the darkest days
Especially when you didn't have to
That's when I knew
I had a friend in you
So if your world should fall apart
Call me I'll run to where you are
I only hope that I can be
Half of the friend you've been to me
Remember the laughs
Then add up the dreams
And take it to the nth degree
We'll be friends forever
Cause you'll be forever in my heart
That's where best friends are
Where would I be
Without you by my side loving me
Anyone can see that we're the real thing
No matter what and always
Come whatever
We're best friends forever
Remember the laughs
Then add up the dreams
And take it to the nth degree
We'll be friends forever
Cause you'll be forever in my heart
That's where best friends are

Sometimes people come into your life
People can enter your life unexpectedly
Like they're meant to be
As if it was destiny
And suddenly you've found someone
All of a sudden you met someone
Who sees the world like you see
Who shares your perspective
And you laugh like crazy
And you laugh uncontrollably
At all the crazy things
At all the absurd and funny things
That no one thinks are funny but you
That no one else finds amusing except you
That's when I knew
That's when I realized
That I had a friend so true
That I had found a loyal friend
If my world were crumbling down
If my life was falling apart
You are the one I'd want around
You are the one I'd want to be with
Cause through everything you've shown me that
Because you have proven to me that
You were the one who had my back
You were the one who supported me

Remember the happy moments

And your smile will always be remembered

So I want to express my gratitude
For being there always
For always being there for me
Even the darkest days
Even during the toughest times
Especially when you didn't have to
Especially when it was not necessary
That's when I knew
That's when I realized
I had a friend in you
That I had a true friend in you
So if your world should fall apart
If your life falls apart
Call me I'll run to where you are
Call me, and I'll be there for you
I only hope that I can be
I just hope that I can be
Half of the friend you've been to me
Half as good a friend as you have been to me
Where would I be
Where would I have ended up
Without you by my side loving me
If you were not by my side, supporting me
Anyone can see that we're the real thing
Everyone can see that we are authentic friends
No matter what and always
No matter what happens, always
Come whatever
Whatever comes our way
We're best friends forever
We will always be the best of friends
