B*Witched were formed in 1997 consisting of twins Edele and Keavy, Lindsay Armaou, and Sinéad O'Carroll. Originally the girl group was known as D'Zire, then Sister, before settling on B*Witched. Their self-titled debut album was released in October 1998 under Glowworm Records, and produced four number-one singles, and was certified double-platinum in the UK, and platinum in the US. The band released their second album Awake and Breathe to similar, albeit less, success just a year after their debut. Following this, the band embarked on their international "Jump Up Jump Down" tour, which they released a live home video of, following this they released an EP Across America 2000.
The band were due to release their third studio album in late 2002, with "Where Will You Go?" as the lead single. Despite the success of the group, they were dropped from Glowworm Records, and split up shortly after. After the split, Edele worked as a songwriter with the Xenomania production team, co-writing the tracks "Some Kind of Miracle" for Girls Aloud in 2003 and "Situations Heavy" for the Sugababes. Edele married Michael Barrett on 9 August 2006 and gave birth to a daughter on 7 July 2007 named Cleo Barrett; she gave birth to her second child on 6 April 2010 a son named Harley Christian. The couple's third child, a daughter named Enya, was born on 8 September 2011.
