Jump5 released their self-titled debut album on August 14, 2001. The album was re-released twice, first with an additional bonus track, then with a cover of Lee Greenwood's " God Bless the USA" after the September 11th attacks. Over the following two years they released three more albums: '' All the Time in the World'', a Christmas album, '' All the Joy in the World'', and '' Accelerate''. They opened one show for Aaron Carter in 2002. In January 2004, Hodges decided to leave the group as she wanted to "take a deep breath and see what exactly God wants me to do at this point in my life". In April, the group released the remix album '' Mix It Up''. Natasha Noack joined the group and took part in recording a cover of the J. Geils Band's " Freeze Frame" for the '' Sleepover'' soundtrack. Noack left the group in June 2004. On September 21, 2004, the group released '' Dreaming in Color'', their first release as a
