Queensberry was an all-female German pop group founded in late 2008. Formed during the seventh season of the television talent show Popstars, Popstars – Just 4 Girls, the original line-up consisted of singers Leonore Bartsch (Leo), Gabriella De Almeida Rinne (Gabby), Antonella Trapani (Anto), and Victoria Ulbrich (Vici). In July 2010, it was announced that both Antonella and Victoria had left the group, to be replaced by new members, Selina Herrero and Ronja Hilbig.

The band's debut album Volume I was released in December 2008 and reached gold status in Germany in January 2009. It produced two singles, "No Smoke" and "I Can't Stop Feeling", both becoming top thirty successes in the charts. In February 2008, Queensberry served as the opening act for the Pussycat Dolls's Doll Domination Tour in selected European countries. In November 2009, the second studio album On My Own was released. For the soundtrack of the film Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel, Queensberry recorded "The Song" with The Chipettes in December 2009, in addition to voicing the characters in the German-dubbed version of the film.
