Post The X Factor[]
On January 18, 2017, it was confirmed via Twitter that the group had been signed to Syco Music. Their debut single "Up In Here" was premiered on Britain's Got Talent but the performance drew controversy with the accusations that they were miming, which they later confirmed to be true. The single went on to peak at #51 on the UK Charts.
In November they released their debut EP called 'The Sauce' but in January 2018 they confirmed that they had parted ways with Sony Music. It was later revealed that band member Kieran Alleyne had left the band in order to pursue a solo career. They were later joined by BRIT School alum Brad O'Neill.
