Christina Milian (
In 2006, Milian released her third studio album So Amazin'. The album produced one single, "Say I" (featuring Jeezy), which peaked in the Top 30 of the US Billboard chart. A month after the release of So Amazin', Milian's representative confirmed that she had left Island Records due to creative differences. Milian signed with Interscope Records in 2009. A single, ballad "Us Against the World", was released in October 2008.
Milian originally wanted to be an actress. Her first lead role was in the 2003 film
Early life
Milian (Milián in Spanish) was born in
Flores changed her name and adopted her mother's maiden name (Milian) in the hopes of landing a wider range of acting roles.[9] The oldest of three sisters, including Danielle and Elizabeth, she moved with her family to Waldorf, Maryland, soon after her birth. Milian was four years old when she showed an interest in show business,[10] and when her family realized that she was a talented actress, she became determined to pursue an entertainment career.[11] As a child, Milian was "very imaginative and very creative", and watching television and listening to the radio became her life. They inspired her to have fun, and she convinced her parents that she "did not want to be inside the TV", although it took some time to convince them.[9] By the time she was nine years old, Milian had begun auditioning with local talent agencies,[9] shot commercials for Wendy's and Honeycomb, and played the lead role in the musical Annie. Milian's mother noticed her daughter's potential and left her husband and moved to Los Angeles with her three daughters when Milian was 13 years old. Her father had to stay in Maryland and divorced her mother soon after the move.[11]
When Milian moved to Los Angeles, her only desire was to be an actress. She always wanted to be in the record business, but did not know how to obtain a

Milian on her music and acting careers.[29]
Although Milian is best known for her singing career,[29] she originally wanted to be an actress.[12] When asked whether she prefers singing or acting, Milian said that "they're both my passion. But, honestly, if I had to choose, it would probably be my music. I love writing. I love listening. I love the challenge of it."[12] Milian has also stated that she loves "performing live on the stage ... above all else. It's my favorite."[20]
Milian's first major acting role was offered by the
Milian has been described as a role model to young girls; she has said that there are a lot of people who young girls look up to, but "at the end of the day you have to be your own person and love yourself."
2003–2004: It's About Time and continued acting
"My first single off my last album, 'AM to PM', was more of a kiddie kind of thing, very pop. This new single is more R&B, kind of a club/party kind of vibe. And I'm excited about it 'cause it's a new me. I'm 22 now and there's been some maturity, and it's nice for people to see this change."
Milian on her growth between albums.[34]
Milian felt that
Milian's second studio album, It's About Time, was released in the US on July 13, 2004.[37] The critical response to the album was mixed; the club tracks, most notably lead single "Dip It Low", were praised while the ballads were said to be disappointing.[38][39] The style and sound of the album was compared to that of Beyoncé and Jennifer Lopez by several critics.[36][40] Milian later admitted that her new sexy image for "Dip It Low" and the whole album was mainly for shock value. She had to make her way back into the US market, and by choosing a sexier image, she made a name for herself. "Dip It Low" was also meant to show that she was not the same 18-year-old girl in the "AM to PM" video.[35] To create her new image, Milian also decided to change her appearance and lightened her hair. Taking inspiration from Janet Jackson who constantly changed her image, Milian thought to herself, "'When did I like Janet Jackson the most?' It was when she had her lightened hair."[9]
Milian believed that the album was more R&B when compared to her "bubble-gum" pop debut album.

Following her departure from
After recording songs with the aforementioned producers, Milian took a break from music and started filming Bring It On: Fight to the Finish. When Milian returned to music, she concentrated on promoting her single "Us Against the World", and shot its music video. Since then, Milian said that she became "a little bit more meticulous with what I feel deserved to be on the album", and resumed recording.[33] Songs recorded for the album included the 1990s Madonna-styled ballad "Stay", Euro-club record "Tug of War" and the feel-good song "Diamonds",[51] which featured Kanye West.[70] Other features included Rick Ross on the Cool & Dre produced track "Blissful",[71] and Pitbull.[72]
In early 2009, Milian began working with
In August 2009, Milian confirmed that she had signed a deal to release Elope through Interscope Records,[76] with a 2010 release date. Originally scheduled to be released in 2009, Tricky Stewart explained the delay, saying "we just got our label deals done, so the reason why some of these projects got delayed had to do with technicalities and things of that nature". The album has been furthered delayed because of Milian's marriage to The-Dream and her pregnancy.[77] In January 2010, Milian said that she was going back into the studio in the summer to record more material. Although the album had already been finished when Milian took a break for her pregnancy, she wanted to "go back and re-do some of the music and make some new songs and find my new inspiration".[78] In October 2009, Tricky Stewart said that another single had yet to be chosen, and that it would be the first single off Elope.[77] Reported choices for the first single include "Zipper", "I'm a Cheat",[79] and "Supersonic".[80]
Milian starred as the main character in the Christmas television movie for the
2010–2014: Return to music, The Voice and Dancing with the Stars
Milian was scheduled to resume recording in July 2010 to complete the album; however, Milian opted to focus on her acting career.[86] Despite the separation, Milian and The-Dream continued to "work together and write together".[87] At the 2010 Los Angeles Fashion Week, Milian performed "Zipper" and "Dip It Low". Milian has worked on a fourth studio album since 2008, but its release has frequently been delayed.[88] At the 2010 American Music Awards, she said it would be ready in 2011.[89] In June 2011, her collaboration with The Jackie Boyz titled Memory was released in Japan.[90] It is set to appear on their album Songs In My Blackberry.[91]
On February 12, 2012, Lil' Wayne said that Christina Milian had joined Young Money. The next day, a song titled "Mr. Valentine" leaked onto the internet.[94] Milian told Carson Daly on 97.1 AMP Radio. "Yeah, I've signed with Young Money. It was pretty awesome. This weekend we had a big party, a big YMCMB party, and Drake was performing and we were all up on the stage and Wayne got up there and he announced it himself. And so I was kind of surprised and I was like, 'Oh my gosh, this is awesome!'" Milian is currently recording her fourth album. "We're just getting started on it," she said. "I've already halfway gotten there and when my mom and I went to Wayne and we played him some of the music, off the second song, he was like, 'I love it. Let's do this deal.' I have some music that's already going to be on it and the second half I'm working with them now. [...] When they did a little background check, they saw even the songwriting, all that kind of stuff adds on top of, alright, she's an actress, she's a pretty face, she can actually sing, but not to mention she's a songwriter. I thought that was cool that they even saw that. [...] They all get on each other's records, so all I have to do is be home with everybody and we'll just do lots of features."[95]
In October 2012 during an interview, Milian spoke of her Young Money debut: "Wayne just gets his artists, which is great, I have a very one-on-one business relationship with everybody from Mack Maine to Wayne. They're just very involved in the project as far as bringing the music, playing songs, just giving their input. [...] I really want to pick the perfect single though. It's been a second since I've been out musically, so I do not want to fail and I don't believe in failure, so I just try new things and figure out the pieces. That's one thing that's great about Wayne. He's like, 'Work with different producers, take your time, but at the same time, try new things. Don't be stuck on one thing.'"[96] In July 2013, it was discovered that her contract with The Voice would be ended.[97]
In the summer, she collaborated with the Stafford Brothers and

Milian met actor Nick Cannon on the set of their film, Love Don't Cost a Thing, in 2003, and they began dating.[128] After being together for two and a half years, Milian ended her relationship with Cannon in 2005 because of his cheating.[129] Cannon revealed that he refused to stay faithful to Milian because their relationship was becoming too much like a "Christian romance".[130] When Cannon married Mariah Carey on April 30, 2008, Milian said, "regardless of what I felt in the past at the time, I actually forgive him and I'm very much over that."[131]
