The members of girl group Run the World are the best of friends even though they haven’t met in person yet. Their debut single, Rainbow, is out now.

The four young girls in Run the World, a new American pop group that launched while its members have been in quarantine, have never met in person. You wouldn’t know that after listening to their catchy debut single, Rainbow, though.

They greet one another like old friends in the group’s various interviews and TV appearances, often talking over one another and laughing at their accidental interruptions. Sometimes, they even know what the other is going to say before they say it.

“Our bond is definitely unbreakable. We all love each other so much already. We have definitely the best conversations ever,” Corinne Joy said in a recent Zoom interview with the group’s other members.

Run the World is made up of four diverse young influencers from different realms of entertainment: Joy, 12, is a dancer; Hayley LeBlanc, 11, is a YouTuber and actress; Jessalyn Grace, 13, is a YouTuber, model and dancer; and Kheris Rogers, 13, is an activist and ambassador for brands such as her own clothing line.

Each girl has their own social media platforms that showcase their personality; combined, they have a reach of 10 million followers. Their YouTube channels and Instagram and TikTok accounts established them as internet stars before they moved into music.
