Background
Millionaires started in Summer 2007 "as an accident" when sisters Melissa and Allison Green made a song using GarageBand.[1] The song was titled "I Like Money",[1] and the teens created a MySpace profile, "Millionaires," which corresponds with their song title's reference to money. Later, Dani joined the band, and the trio created their second song, entitled "Hoe Down".[citation needed] At the time of their MySpace debut, they were considering releasing an EP with the title of "La La Love" or "Girls With Guns" containing their Garageband hits.[citation needed] This plan dissolved, they had a new EP plan with the title of "Shit Bitch" which was later release entitled Bling! Bling! Bling![citation needed]
After a few months, DJ Hyphy Crunk brought them out and they began to perform shows locally and traveled only small distances for shows. They got spots in music festivals such as Bamboozle Left 2008 and Audio Overload 2008. By July 2008, they were ready to tour and they went out on their first tour co-headlining with Breathe Carolina across the West coast. Later in July, they headlined the GET F$CKED UP tour.
In July 2008, they performed on MTV's TRL as part of On The Radar,[4] a segment where popular unsigned bands perform. The girls returned in January and February 2009 on their Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid tour, which sold out every date.
They made a short song titled "Ooh Uh Huh", which became the theme song for MTV's reality show A Double Shot At Love with the Ikki Twins.[5] Their song "Hey Rich Boy" was also used as the theme for MTV's Teen Cribs. Their song "Alcohol" was also featured on the soundtrack for the third series of Skins. Their songs "I Like Money" and "I Move It" was featured on the MTV show "My Life as Liz." Their cover of 'Chic's' song 'Le Freak' is featured on the MTV movie 'Turn The Beat Around'. In June 23, 2009, they released a new EP entitled from their new single of the EP Just Got Paid, Let's Get Laid, which was a resell of Bling! Bling! Bling! just with 2 more tracks.
A clip of a new song "Prom Dress" was released on the Popjustice website on December 8, 2009.[6] Their Christmas song "Rated Xmas" was released Wednesday December 16.
