WhatChaRaWaLee at VERY TV in 2013

WhatChaRaWaLee was established by friends who worked behind the scenes in Thai music and Thai advertising. Their purpose is to present music about strong love or positive thinking. The name of their band came from their first single in 2009. They wanted to create a song for a woman who was getting married, so they used her name as their band name and her nickname became the title of their first song.[citation needed]
