Jeanette Jurado was originally a member of a band called Cool Breeze, and they landed a gig opening for Exposé one night in the '80s. Jurado said in a 2020 interview with the National Museum of Mexican Art that Exposé's original members – Sandeé Casañas, Alé Lorenzo, and Laurie Miller – later approached her and asked her to sing their dance hit, "Point of No Return." She recalled, "The girls from Exposé took me aside and said, 'Our lead singer is leaving. ... She no longer wants to perform, and we would really like it if you were to join our group.'"
Despite the amazing offer, Jurado initially turned them down. The self-described "tomboy" didn't see herself fitting in with the glam aesthetic of the group. But the original Exposé members wouldn't take no for an answer, and when Arista Records started courting the group — and Jurado — she eventually made the leap. She learned soon after that she'd be getting two new singing partners, Gioia Bruno and Ann Curless. "I don't know if the old girls knew that that's what was going to happen," Jurado said. The whole process took a few weeks, but to Jurado, it seemed like "all of a sudden, we were Exposé!"
The rest is pop music history. The new group re-recorded "Point of No Return," per the Los Angeles Times, and released their first album, "Exposure," which neared the 1 million mark in sales by the fall of 1987.
