Danity Kane is an American R&B girl group signed to Bad Boy Records.

Formed on the third installment of the Making the Band series, the quintet consists of Shannon Bex, Aundrea Fimbres, Aubrey O'Day, Dawn Richard, and Wanita "D. Woods" Woodgette.

In 2005, rapper and mogul "Sean "Diddy" Combs" returned with Making the Band 3, this time searching for the next female supergroup.

After months of recording the band's debut album, Danity Kane, was released to mixed reviews on August 22, 2006 in the United States. Produced by Timbaland, Scott Storch, Rodney Jerkins, Mario Winans and Ryan Leslie among others, the album sold over 90,000 copies in the first day of release, and over 234,000 in the first week of release.

The selection for the album's second single, Bryan Michael Cox produced "Ride for You," was influenced by a fan poll that went around through e-mails, MySpace, and the group's official web site.

The music video for the song premiered on MTV's Total Request Live on December 5, 2006, the same day the band released a self-penned holiday song "Home for Christmas" to iTunes.

Both songs saw minor to moderate success on the charts, a fact the band members commented on how "unfairly" their debut album was promoted, usually blaming Bad Boy or Diddy.
