Eden's Crush was a girl group based in Los Angeles created on the American television series Popstars which aired on The WB Television Network in early 2001. Nicole Scherzinger was one of the group members and went on to join the successful group The Pussycat Dolls.

The group is best known for their debut single, "Get Over Yourself (Goodbye)," which topped the Canadian Singles Chart and reached the U.S. Hot 100 top ten. Their second single "Love This Way" was not as successful, but still had some radio play. Their album Popstars was certified gold and peaked at no. 6 on the Billboard 200, but failed to match the sales of Popstars acts from other countries. The group featured a multicultural membership of Dominican, Puerto Rican, Russian, Filipino, Hawaiian, Irish, German, and Colombian descent.

In 2001 they played as a support act on some dates for *NSync's Pop Odyssey Tour and Jessica Simpson's DreamChaser Tour.^[1]

The band's record label, London-Sire along with Diddy Record Labels, folded at the end of 2001. A planned move to Atlantic Records failed, and with the group floundering, the members decided to disband and pursue individual interests. A planned Spanish language version of their debut album was never released.
