Girls Aloud consists of Nadine Elizabeth Louise Coyle, Cheryl Ann Tweedy, Sarah Nicole Harding, Nicola Roberts, and Kimberley Jane Walsh. All five girls belong to large families from different parts of the British Isles.

Nadine was born June 15, 1985, in Derry, Northern Ireland, attended Thornhill College, and has two sisters. Cheryl was born June 30, 1983, in Newcastle, England. She went to Walker Comprehensive School and has three brothers and a sister. Sarah, born November 17, 1981, in Ascot, was schooled in Surrey and Manchester, and has one brother. A native of Stanford, Nicola was born on October 5, 1985, attended St. Chad's school in Runcorn, and has two brothers and one sister. Finally, Kimberley, born in Bradford on November 20, 1981, was raised and schooled there along with her brother and two sisters.

The girls appear to have had traditional upbringings. Cheryl, Sarah, Nicola, and Kimberley all worked as waitresses or barmaids; Kimberley also had experience as a drama teacher. Only Nicola and Sarah have been members of other bands, although these were unsuccessful. But each girl dreamed of singing professionally.
