1 Girl Nation, an all-female Christian pop group, was just signed to Reunion Records, and their self-titled debut album will be released on August 20.

Their first single, "While We're Young," hit radio stations last week and they announced plans to join Secret Keeper Girl's "Crazy Hair" Tour this fall.

The song "encourages young people to make the right choices early in life," a press release for 1 Girl Nation said.

"'While We're Young' sounds so fresh with the perfect summer feel. It reaches out with a strong Biblical message that appeals not only to tweens, but moms and grandmas alike, to live for Jesus," Theresa Ross, Music Director at WTRJ, Jacksonville, Fla. said in a statement.

The group features five girls with their own distinct sounds and signature singing styles.

"The group includes Kayli, who grew up on military bases all over the world as a result of her father's Air Force career, landing in Orlando, Fla.; Lauryn Taylor, from Birmingham, Ala.; Kelsey, a Chicago, Ill. native with a degree in music education; Carmen, a singer/dancer who grew up in the Nashville area; and Lindsey, a pastor's kid who hails from Jacksonville, Fla.," said a release from Provident Label Group concerning the girls' backgrounds.

The girls co-write most of the songs on the album and worked with notable writers Jason Ingram, Kipp Williams and Tony Wood with their songs focusing on messages of self-worth, true beauty, and purpose.

Secret Keeper Girl was created by author Dannah Gresh and looks to connect moms and their teenage daughters to important topics such as modesty, true beauty, and healthy friendships from a Biblical perspective.

Over 150,000 mothers and daughters have gone through Secret Keeper Girl events.
