Their 2009 debut single \u201cPatron Tequila\u201d reached No. 3 on the Hot Dance Club Play chart and No. 82 on the Canadian Hot 100.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The group disbanded in 2010, and Bennett subsequently found solo success as a featured artist on tracks from <a rel=\"nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/will.i.am\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"elm:link;elmt:article_link;slk:will.i.am;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" data-yga=\"{&quot;yLinkElement&quot;:&quot;context_link&quot;,&quot;yModuleName&quot;:&quot;content-canvas&quot;,&quot;yLinkText&quot;:&quot;will.i.am&quot;}\" class=\"link \">will.i.am<\/a> and CeeLo Green. In 2011, she joined the Party Rock Tour with LMFAO and was featured on the group\u2019s international hit, \u201cParty Rock Anthem.\u201d The song peaked at No. 1 in 20 countries and became the third best-selling digital song in U.S. history.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Bennett soon joined G.R.L. alongside Simone Battle, Emmalyn Estrada, and Natasha Slayton. They debuted their hit single \u201cVacation\u201d on the <em>Smurfs 2 <\/em>soundtrack, released a self-titled EP in 2014, and sang on Pitbull\u2019s radio hit \u201cWild Wild Love.\u201d But then Battle died by suicide in September 2015, and the group released a single in her honor, \u201cLighthouse,\u201d before disbanding the following year.
