History

2019–2022: Founding and early projects

Grouptherapy's members originally met due to their shared background as child entertainers. Prior to their incorporation as a group, the four had been making music together for three years. Before making their debut as a group, Swim had released a TJOnline-produced mixtape, ''Everyone's Got One''. The group's debut release, "Yikes" by Koi featuring TJW (at the time of release, TJOnline and Swim were known as TJW and Koi, respectively), was released on October 22, 2019. This began a series of singles released by the group's individual members, culminating in the release of "Powerball" by TJW. These singles were compiled into an EP titled ''This Is Not The Album'', released on April 1, 2020. On July 10, the single "Raise It Up!", the first single from the group's debut mixtape, ''There Goes The Neighborhood'', was released. Unlike previous releases, "Raise It Up!" was credited to the group as a whole, rather than to a specific member. Two more singles, "Watercolor" and "Blackout", were released before ''There Goes The Neighborhood'' came out on October 30, 2020. By the time ''There Goes The Neighborhood'' was released, Rhea had departed from the group. On November 19, a music video for "Wish U Were Here", was released. On April 9, 2022, Grouptherapy's second EP, ''Truth Be Told'', was released. The EP was preceded by the singles "Risky" and "Disco Pantz", a collaboration with Rejjie Snow and
