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 McClain Sisters Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
30 seconds 'till we smash into the ground
The passengers have lost their smiles
Soon their bodies will be wreckage spread for miles
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
There's not a chance of going down, but I just might
So this is it, this is goodbye
And I feel like I'm gonna lose my mind
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
Everybody has their day and I guess I'm just the same
But I'm going nowhere
Everybody has their day, never thought it would be this way
And I really don't care
I'm in the shit, knee-deep in it, I think that this might hurt a bit
I leave my debts but no regrets - except I wish I'd took the train
We're going down, we're out of sky
It sure helps if you can see the funny side
So this is over and out, this is goodbye
And I'm feeling like I'm gonna lose my mind
I try to reach her, but she's not there
But back home I hope she knows how much I care
I ease the seat back and start to pray
To the same God that puts bombs in cargo bays
The lyrics to The McClain Sisters' song Go have a sense of foreboding and desperation, as they describe an airplane in decline, about to crash into the ground. The passengers are no longer smiling, and soon their bodies will be scattered for miles. The singer of the song appears to have accepted their fate, acknowledging that they are knee-deep in trouble and feeling like they are going to lose their mind. They wish they had taken the train, thinking about the debts that they are leaving behind but feeling some remorse about their decision.
The nightmarish scenario of the airplane's descent throws into sharp relief the singer's desperate state of mind. They acknowledge the possibility that everyone has their day, and that they may have reached the end of their own. Their thoughts are with someone back home, whom they hope knows how much they care. Finally, the song concludes on a note of grim humor, describing the attempt to find some levity as the plane plunges downward. The singer turns to prayer, acknowledging the same deity who has the power to put bombs in cargo bays.
Overall, the lyrics to Go present a fraught situation that is both terrifying and existentially revealing. The McClain Sisters convey a sense of the frailty of human life and the limits of human control over our fate.
