Eternal are a British R&B girl group formed in 2012 and currently consisting of members Su-Elise Washington, Sabrina Nash and Alesha Nurding. The group originally formed with Washington joined by the group's lead singer Kelle Rowland, Heavenli Dixon and Louise Denton who quit the group in 2015, shortly before the release of their second studio album. In 2017, Rowland announced she had left the group to due undisclosed reasons and was replaced by Taylor Mullings who became the trio's new lead singer.

Between 2019 and 2020, Dixon quit the group to be replaced by Mariama Goodman. A year later, Dixon returned to the group when Goodman quit. In August 2020, Dixon quit for a second time and was replaced by Washington's friend Sabrina Nash. In October 2020, Mullings was fired from the group and replaced by rapper Alesha Nurding, with Nash becoming the lead singer.

The group have sold over 3.5 million albums in the UK and released nineteen UK top ten singles, including the 2017 UK number-one single "I Wanna Be The Only One". Whilst finding some international success, the group has been mocked for their constant line-up changes. They are considered one of the most British girl groups in UK chart history.

2017-20: Greatest Hits & Finally Found
Two weeks after the departure of Rowland, 18-year-old Taylor Mullings was announced as her replacement. Throughout July 2017, the group toured Australia and New Zealand before it was announced the group would release a greatest hits album later that year. The initial statement confirmed that Rowland and Denton's vocals would be replaced with those of Mullings but following a backlash from the group's fans, this was cancelled. As well as the group's hit singles, the Greatest Hits album contained three new songs.

"Angel Of Mine", a song written by Mullings, was released as the first and only single from the album, becoming their twelfth UK top ten single. The album followed a month later and debuted and peaked at #2 in the UK, eventually selling over 900,000 copies in the UK alone. In February 2018, whilst working on a new album, the group embarked on the Eternally Yours Tour which visited the UK, Ireland, continental Europe, Australia, New Zealand and countries in Asia.

In August 2018, the group released "Finally Found" as the lead single from their fourth album, peaking at number four in the UK and selling over 350,000 copies. Follow up single "End Of The Line" was also a success, peaking at number five. In March 2019, whilst on a promotional tour of Australia, Mullings and Washington were informed that Dixon had quit the group. In an interview hours later, Washington remarked that she had quit the group to spend more time with her boyfriend before Mullings said "Of course it was a big shock but we respect her decision and wish her the best of luck with everything she chooses to do." Dixon later said the claim she left because of her boyfriend wasn't true, confirming that she left due to disliking the international travelling and wanting to sing more on the albums.

Dixon quit the group during the promotion of the album's third single "Love Of A Lifetime", which peaked at number nine. A month after Dixon left, Mariama Goodman was announced as her replacement on Lorraine. The new line-up embarked on a promotional tour throughout 2019 as they recorded tracks for a repackaged version of the album Finally Found. The first of these, and the first song to feature Goodman's vocals, was "Never Let You Down", their sixteenth top ten single whilst "Won't Take It Lying Down" became their seventeenth, both songs peaking at number seven.

In early June 2020, Goodman announced she had quit the group. Within weeks, Washington and Mullings were told to either accept former member Heavenli Dixon back into the group or be dropped from their deal. The trio reformed and single "Not Even Gonna Trip" was released in July 2020 with "I Don't Know" following a month later. Neither of the songs had music videos shot and both still featured vocals from Goodman with the record label refusing the re-record the songs. Within two months of rejoining the group, Dixon had quit again blaming tension between the members for her departure. She was replaced within days by Sabrina Nash, a close friend of Washington who was in the running to originally replace Goodman but talks fell through.

2021-Present: Fifth Studio Album
In October 2020, the group released "What'cha Gonna Do" as the lead single from their upcoming album. On the day of release, the group were due to appear on Lorraine. When they appeared, Mullings was missing and it was announced that she had left the group and replaced by new member Alesha Nurding. Mullings later spoke on social media claiming she was fired by text message after she turned on the television and saw that she had been replaced. The song peaked at number six in the UK.

In January 2021, the group released "Why?" as the new lead single from the album, peaking at number eight.
