(Redirected from The Cheetah Girls (album))
2003 soundtrack album by The Cheetah Girls and various artists
Although there had been music recorded for The Cheetah Girls film, there were originally no plans to release said music commercially since Disney Channel's previous original films never had soundtracks before. Debra Martin Chase was able to convince Disney to create new contracts for the film's actresses and release the film's music as a soundtrack.
A special edition titled "The Cheetah Girls - Special Edition Soundtrack" was released on June 22, 2004, featuring two brand new remixes of "Cinderella" and "Girl Power" with eight karaoke tracks. The special edition credits the song, "End of the Line", to Hope 7, while the original release credits the song to Christi Mac. The reason for this is that Christi Mac is really the alias of Kristi McClave, the lead singer of Hope 7. McClave sang both this song and "Breakthrough" on the original soundtrack. On December 25, 2006, the original soundtrack was released digitally to the iTunes store in the United Kingdom.
Johnny Loftus from Allmusic reviewed the album stating: "From the Disney Channel comes a TV movie adaptation of Deborah Gregory's Cheetah Girls book series. It's the continuing adventures of a smart, sassy singing group as they make their way in the pop music world with nothing but their wits and musical chops to guide them. Along the way, they live a little, rock a little, and learn a lot". Common Sense Media's review of the album complimented The Cheetah Girls' singing, but called the production "prefabricated" and generally disapproved of the musical presentation.

Song descriptions
"Together We Can": The Cheetah Girls perform this song during the opening credits at a kids' birthday party, which goes horribly wrong where Aqua, Dorinda, and Chanel end up tripping each other causing them to be a laughing stock.
"Girlfriend": Sung by Char. It is played in the background in the beginning of the movie while Galleria and Chanel are dancing in front of a store.
"Cinderella": The Cheetah Girls perform the song for their audition for the talent show. It is this song that makes Jackal Johnson believe they are the next big thing. The music is played on a laptop by Chanel's younger brother.
"Breakthrough": Sung by Hope 7. It is played in the background while Chanel goes shopping for new Cheetah Girls dress.
"Girl Power": The Cheetah Girls perform this song at Def Duck Records trying to prove to Jackal Johnson they can sing good enough that they don't need the masks and lip-syncing, which is what he wanted them to do. The song samples "All Night Long" by Wild Orchid.
"End of the Line" Sung by Christi Mac (of Hope 7). It is played in the movie after the girls have a fight.
"C'mon": Sonic Chaos, The Cheetah Girls' rival, performs this song at the talent show.
"Cheetah Sisters": The Cheetah Girls began performing this near the end of the movie, as Galleria tries to make up with the girls. The scene changes as they are singing, and they perform this at the talent show, and win. Sonic Chaos perform the music.
