In Part 2 of our POP 101 look at Girlicious, we dive into the group’s "Rebuilt" era - complete with a new sound and look as a trio. We break down the rollout of singles like "Over You," "Maniac," and "2 in the Morning," and how the group tried to redefine themselves beyond their reality TV origins. But despite the glow-up, label changes and behind-the-scenes tension led to their quiet breakup. We also revisit the mini-reunions that followed and share our personal highlights from a discography that still deserves more love.
