Originally a duet between Ashley and Terri, who hoped to perform their one song during their school Cabaret event. A music genre is a categorical and typological construct that identifies musical sounds as belonging to a particular category and type of music that can be distinguished from other Soul music is a Music genre that combines Rhythm and blues and Gospel music, originating in the United States. Pop music as a genre features a noticeable rhythmic element catchy melodies and hooks, a mainstream style and conventional structure Rock music is a genre of Popular music often though not necessarily employing Electric guitar, Bass guitar, and Drums. Ashley Kerwin is a Fictional high schooler on Degrassi The Next Generation, portrayed by Melissa McIntyre. Theresa 'Terri' McGreggor was a Fictional character on the Canadian television series Degrassi The Next Generation. Paige Michalchuk is a Fictional character in the TV series Degrassi The Next Generation, portrayed by Lauren Collins. Hazel Aden is a Fictional character in the television series Degrassi The Next Generation, portrayed by Andrea Lewis. The lyrics to their one song was written by Ashley and despite Terri's protests that the song's pace needed to be increased, Ashley insisted it was the right tempo. Due to lack of creative control, Terri would invite Paige to join their band, leading to the creation of P. M. S. The band was subject to much creative conflicts as Ashley wanted her lyrics to remain slow and striking, while Paige and Terri wanted a more flashy and popular approach. Remixing the song, Terri and Paige were confronted with an enraged Ashley. Eventually all agreeing to consult Terri's "mystic oracles", she lies, saying that the drawn card (the high priestess) means to "go with the new", when it really ment the contrary. Right before their Cabaret performance, Ashley discovers the true meaning of Terri's reading and after her warning for them to use the old version falls on deaf ears, she subsequently quits and refuses to perform the new piece. Now deciding their name to be simply "Paige and Terri", the duo perform with a warm, positive audience reception. Reconciliating, Ashley admits to the merits of their pop version and accepts a reinvitation to their new band; Paige Michalchuk and the Sexkittens/P. M. S.
During a Pantene Pro-Voice/song writing contest, Terri and Paige decide to reform PMS for the prize, a demo CD and a trip to L. A. to perform live for record executives. However, due to them no longer being friends with Ashley, they lacked a singer/song writer. Paige quickly replaced the missing slot by inviting Hazel Aden to join. Hazel Aden is a Fictional character in the television series Degrassi The Next Generation, portrayed by Andrea Lewis. Friction between Paige and Terri emerge, sparked by the anguish caused by Paige's rape. With Terri going to practice in their last year costume, Paige sharply remarks that "cheesy pop chicks" were last year and that Terri shouldn't be so out of touch. Hazel settles their dispute telling them that they should just calm down and rehearse. Paige dislikes their optimistic love song, based on Terri's poem, and seeks help from Ashley. Reinviting Ashley to the band, Paige wanted a darker song tackling real issues. At the next practice, Ashley coincidentally writes a song about rape to the dislike of Paige, who wanted to use their other song. With Hazel suffering from polyps and thus unable to sing, Ashley is chosen to sing the solo and chooses her rape song. Confronted in the hallway, Paige starts crying and Ashley realizes the difficulty Paige encounters with the new lyrics and decides to stay with the old. When they're about to perform during the contest, Paige spots her rapist, Dean, in the crowd and in a strong moment, decides to use Ashley's new lyrics. This drives off Dean and though they only got an honorable mention, Ashley and Paige rekindle their friendship, while the latter decides its time to talk to a counselor about the incident with Dean.
"How Can I Be?"

- Free to be, yea Yeah
"Secret Wish"
Lyrics (based on the poem by Terri McGregor)
- I wish I knew
- Just what to do, yeah

"Poor Thing"
Lyrics (written by Ashley Kerwin)
- It happens to other people
- You say how sad, you say poor thing
- But when it's you, it's something else. It's everything
- You'd never believe the nightmares
- You'd never know the pain you caused
- You'd never see the scars you left
- The things you stole, everything I lost
- You took my body, tore it in half
- You took my childhood, my heart and my laugh
- You took everything I kept for myself
- Then you're gone
- I'm not your poor thing

" battle of the bands competition, Ashley forms this group and goes up against Craig's Downtown Sasquatch. Informed that her song writing should be based upon her own experiences, Ashley writes the first verse of their song in the hallway, drawing from her breakup with Craig. Angered later by Craig's poor attempts of apology, Ashley writes "Mr. Nice Guy", a song bashing Craig's breakup with Ashley.

Mr. Nice Guy
Lyrics (written by Ashley Kerwin)
- This song is a prize for breaking my heart
- Should have written these words to you right from the start
- You say it doesn't matter how it's all in the past
- But pain doesn't show it's disguised by its mask
- I can't pretend, to forgive and forget, gonna make the day you met me, a day you'll regret
- 'Cause you're the dust in my eye, you're the rock in my shoe
- Yeah you lie, lie, lie
- Better watch what you say 'cause I'm on to you
- Mr. Nice Guy. Whooaaa, Mr. Nice Guy
- spoken: You're so nice
