Sierra, Lauryn and China Anne McClain are a trio of young sisters and entertainers who have a genuine love for acting, singing and dancing. These talented young girls have grown up watching Disney movies and musical classics such as The Wiz, Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and Annie. Their first interest in entertainment began when they accompanied their father, Michael McClain, to the recording studio where he worked as a music producer, vocalist, songwriter and sound engineer. They discovered a common bond through their love of music. After these determined sisters began to write songs and choreograph dance routines, they named their group, 3mcclaingirls. Their father, Michael began to produce their music and the dynamic threesome launched their official website, 3mcclaingirls.com, in 2005.
On June 14, 2011, the McClain Sisters the group signed with Hollywood Records, which their cousin Samantha McClain was signed with.[1] China and her sisters performed a new song called “Rise” at the Mall of America on March 11, 2012.

The song premiered on the iTunes Store on March 23, 2012, with the music video premiering on March 26. The video premiered during an episode of Austin & Ally and was uploaded onto Youtube the next day. It will also be featured as a Disney Friends For Change anthem

The McClain Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
pretty tired of give and take and tries, watching you do the same thing again
sick of the apologies, don't waste your energy, this is gonna end right now
nothing you say is gonna make it okay, tell, tell me can you hear me now?
(you breaking up, up, up)don't wanna hear another digital lie
(I'm so fed up, up, up) not another generic reply
(I've had enough, nough, nough) I won't hear your excuses this time
(we breaking up, up, up) I can't hear you my phones 'bout to die
and giving another sorry electronic apology
oh, oh tell me can you hear me now? oh, oh yeah I bet you can hear me now
did, did, did I stutter? Boy it's over I'm done playing these games
you chose the wrong girl to play you must not remember my name
so stop with all the texting, I'm on to the next one, might as well give it up
nothing you can do is gonna make it cool, uh oh your minutes are up
(you breaking up, up, up)don't wanna hear another digital lie
(I'm so fed up, up, up) not another generic reply
(I've had enough, nough, nough) I won't hear your excuses this time
(we breaking up, up, up) I can't hear you my phones 'bout to die
Maybe you should think twice, 'fore picking up your device
and giving another sorry electronic apology
oh, oh tell me can you hear me now? oh, oh yeah I bet you can hear me now
No this is not the way I saw this ending
but I'm not going any longer pretending that you're something that you never were
no I won't be rejected, this number you have reached been disconnected, oh!
Maybe you should think twice, 'fore picking up your device
and giving another sorry electronic apology
oh, oh tell me can you hear me now? oh, oh yeah I bet you can hear me now
Maybe you should think twice, 'fore picking up your device
and giving another sorry electronic apology
oh, oh can, can you hear me now? oh, oh yeah I bet you can hear me
(I've had enough) oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
The lyrics of "Electronic Apology" by The McClain Sisters tell the story of a girl who is tired of her ex-boyfriend's lies and insincere apologies. The chorus is a confrontational message telling her ex-boyfriend that she's had enough of his excuses, and she won't listen to any more inauthentic apologies over the phone. She's no longer interested in playing games, and she's on to the next one. The bridge of the song reveals that the girl has disconnected her phone number and has moved on from the relationship, no longer pretending that her ex was anything that he wasn't.
The song's message encourages listeners to value themselves enough not to put up with insincere apologies from someone who repeatedly lies. The message is empowering and encourages listeners to be confident and assertive in demanding respect and sincerity from their partners.
