Carried Away is a Canadian Contemporary Christian musical group from Ontario, Canada. Signed to Glide Records, the group has released three studio albums.

Pam Walker and Colleen Walker are sisters who along with their cousin Christine Prankard formed the group Carried Away. As a family, they have been singing together as long as anyone can remember. It was not until the year 2000 however, that they became "Carried Away". It was at that point that they heard the song "Carried Away" by Sonicflood. Listening to the song, the women were inspired by Jeff Deyo as he sang the chorus with such passion and conviction, "I want to get carried away." The song immediately struck a chord in each of them. They decided to make a career out of singing.

The women truly believed God gave them the name Carried Away to inspire others to hope for the day when we will be carried away into an eternity spent with God.^{[citation needed]} After a time of being known as the two sisters and a cousin, the three women took on Carried Away as their group name, group hope, and a powerful message to tell the world.

Their recording of the song "Carried Away" featured Jeff Deyo of Sonicflood. The album had two number-one hit singles in Canada in 2005-2006 and also won two GMA Canada Covenant Awards for 'Pop Contemporary Album of the Year' and 'Song of the Year' in 2005.
