Why did you guys name the group G2L?

Lyrica: Then we saw we needed an name and Hira had this great name when we all meant, it was G2L..
Hira: G2L stands for Girls to Ladies. We wanted something that represent us as an whole. It was something that it took an while to think about. Girls to Ladies was an symbol of us growing up until womanhood. Growing strength and indepedence as an woman and also learning outthought life what life was really about. The trails and experiences you go though as an little girl, to an young lady to an woman. We learn a lot thought your music and as we learn, we write it to our music and we take what we learn as young woman to the fans
What do you believe is the strongest aspect as an group?
Stefani: (latino accent) I think the STRONGEST aspect is the bond between us. If you are with people, and my mommy always taught me this, if you are around people you love making magic with, you will always peform and do better magic. I think the magic in the music and the people you work with is the strongest aspect of the group. The music we make.
Lyrica: Art of music is so powerful. I think that the strongest aspect is how we are so close as people and how we are come together to make good music. Another strong aspect is the love we have for music and for the strength and indepedence of woman.
What did the idea of Ego come from? I mean, the different people in one person?
Hira: While, AJ had the idea of the song.
AJ: Aww, Hira, you though about me, sweetheart.
Hira: Shut up! Tell the idea (laughs)
AJ: While I just thought, I mean, as girls we go though changes and we see so many different thangs and we see so many people, so what I did is I thought about guys. Guys are like roads, they go in all DIFFERENT directions! Like you right Bobby; You guys have Egos. You are this guy I meant and next you are this devil I wish I never meant. Just get with the program boys. Stop being biploar with us.
(girls laughs)
Why do you girls feel like you have to be so strong and so guardful?
Stefani: Ohh little Papi, with the world today; you have to be strong. Mama say, dont let no body run over it, finish the race. I'm strong because I can do for myself.
Lyrica: (laughs outloud) that's an question? It's about strength. I will feel much better knowing that I can use my knowledge to defend people more than just hurting someone's feelings.
Hira: Like that idiot Cappy.
