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.

No Secrets Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Secrets (secrets) hurt someone
Let me tell ya how it all began
A little secret got out of hand
I ran into him just by chance
at this party we were talking then we started to dance
the music bangin' then he leaned in close
in a moment of weakness (a mistake)
but I kept it a secret
Soon enough I found
Secrets have a way of getting out
Cross my heart and hope to die
I swear these lips will never tell another lie
If you could love me like you did before
I promise if you'll just come back to me I swear no secrets, no deciet
I'll be your angel oh so sweet no secrets will I keep
Every night I light a candle
every morning well I say a little prayer
In hopes that when I open my eyes
I will find you standing there
I confess a crime against our love
my lonliness is punishment enough
Forgivness is devine
everyone keeps secrets sometimes
Cross my heart and hope to die
I swear these lips will never tell another lie
If you could love me like you did before
I promise no secrets forever ever more
Angels in heaven above
I know I sinned against love
Grant me this one miracle
And I'll be a saint from now on
Look in my eyes and it's that that you see it
It's been two weeks since my confession
and still he's not back in my arms
My love for you is the truth cause my heart keeps no secrets
heaven just give me a sign, tell me his heart is still mine
Cross my heart and hope to die
I swear these lips will never tell another lie
If you could love me like you did before
I promise no secrets forever ever more
Cross my heart
