Ester Dean was born in Muskogee, Oklahoma on April 15, 1986, but lived in Tulsa, Oklahoma, then in her late teens, she moved to Omaha, Nebraska. After graduating from Omaha North High School in 2001, she moved to Atlanta, Georgia, until relocating to Los Angeles, California. In an interview Dean spoke on her family life,
Oh, my whole family can sing. When I was growing up, I said I was going to be a chef. And my cousin was like, “No you aren't. You're going to sing.” And I'm like, “No, I'm not. I'm going to be a chef. And that's it.” And they're like, “No, you're going to sing.” And I said, “Okay, well I'll sing and get the money and set-up a restaurant.” My mom, she used to do gospel plays. And we used to go on the road with her and perform in the choir, so I grew up watching her star in these gospel plays. And it just showed, like, “Oh my God, I want to do this or do something like this.” I noticed how I started to get jealous when they used to pick other little girls to sing certain parts. And I'd be like, “Well, I can sing that better.” Or we'd be in their studio and I'm like, “I want to sing in a studio.” When I was really young, that childhood jealousy and seeing what I really wanted – I used to sing into anything I could hear myself back on. That's what I'd do. Even if it was karaoke, I just wanted to be heard, you know? I believe my mom wanted me to be a star and an artist. I think it trickles down. Sometimes it takes them to want it for you to do it.
When Dean relocated to Los Angeles, California, she became a successful songwriter, and was introduced to Polow da Don, and later signed to Zone 4 Records/Interscope Records. During her tenure, Dean has amassed a catalog of songs she has written or co-written for other artists, such as Britney Spears, Rihanna, Christina Aguilera, Vanessa White, Priyanka Chopra, Monica, Keri Hilson, Keyshia Cole, Kelly Rowland, Girlicious, Katy Perry, Trey Songz, Kelly Clarkson, Ciara, Usher, Chris Brown, Nicki Minaj, Pia Toscano, Selena Gomez, Melody Thornton, Ginuwine, Teyana Taylor, Scotty McCreery, Beyoncé Knowles, and Mary J. Blige, among others.

Trois ans après avoir remporté les championnats du monde, les Bellas se retrouvent séparées et réalisent qu’il n’existe pas de perspective de travail qui permette de faire de la musique a cappella. Mais lorsqu’on leur offre la chance de se retrouver une nouvelle fois sur scène pour une tournée à l’étranger, ce groupe de filles se réunit pour une dernière nouvelle aventure musicale, pour le USO tour. Stacie est enceinte d'une fille de 8 mois et ne peut donc pas venir, c'est Emily qui prend sa place. Pendant le USO, le père d'Amy la baleine kidnappe les bellas ; Amy et Beca sont épargnées, et parviennent à délivrer les autres en provoquant un incendie sur le yacht où les Bellas sont retenues. Ce n'est pas le groupe entier des Bellas, mais seulement Beca qui est sélectionnée pour faire la première partie de DJ Khaled ; elle commence son solo, puis convie le groupe de filles sur scène pour chanter "Freedom 90".

L'histoire se déroule trois ans après les événements du premier film. Le groupe des Bellas de Barden est maintenant dirigé par Beca et Chloe, et a trois victoires au Championnat national universitaire de chant a cappella. Cependant, le groupe fait partie d'un scandale national quand, lors d'une prestation du Kennedy Center pour l'anniversaire du Président Obama, "Amy la Baleine" déchire accidentellement son pantalon, dévoilant ses parties génitales au public, ne portant pas de sous-vêtements. À cause de ce scandale, les Bellas sont suspendues du Championnat. Beca arrive alors à marchander pour que les Bellas puissent réintégrer la compétition à condition qu'elles gagnent le championnat du monde de chant a cappella.

Beca est le genre de fille qui préfère écouter son lecteur MP3 que la personne assise en face d'elle. Fraîchement arrivée à la fac, elle a du mal à y trouver sa place. Elle intègre alors, plus ou moins contre son gré, une clique de filles qu'elle n'aurait jamais considérées abordables ou fréquentables : un mélange de pestes, de bonnes pâtes et d'originales dont le seul point commun est la perfection avec laquelle elles chantent a cappella. Et quand la nouvelle venue les initie, au-delà des arrangements traditionnels et des harmonies classiques, à des interprétations et des combinaisons musicales novatrices, toutes se rallient à son ambition d'accéder au sommet du podium dans cet univers impitoyable qu'est celui du chant a cappella à l'université, ce qui pourrait bien s'avérer la chose la plus cool qu'elles aient jamais faite, ou la plus folle.
