Choice was an American contemporary R&B girl group comprising Alecia Moore, Chrissy Conway and Sharon Flanagan. A copy of their first song, "Key to My Heart", was sent to LaFace Records in Atlanta, Georgia, where LA Reid overheard it and arranged for the group to fly there so he could see them perform. After this, he signed them to a record deal; because the girls were under eighteen, their parents had to co-sign the contract. The group relocated to Atlanta and recorded an album, and "Key to My Heart" appeared on the soundtrack of the 1996 film Kazaam.
After Choice gave a poorly received performance at a LaFace Christmas party, Reid believed that Moore had a future as a solo artist and told her to decide whether to stay with LaFace on her own, or leave the label with the group. Moore eventually chose to pursue a solo career under the stage name Pink, and the band consequently split up. Conway joined the Christian pop group ZOEgirl, and she and Flanagan provided backing vocals on Pink's debut album, Can't Take Me Home (2000).
