Doll Domination is the second and final studio album by American girl group the Pussycat Dolls, released on September 19, 2008 by Interscope Records. Following the success of their debut studio album, PCD (2005), Nicole Scherzinger attempted to launch her solo career with Her Name is Nicole; however after four unsuccessful singles and a number of push-backs, Scherzinger decided to focus on the group's second album. The album's release was preceded by the departure of the group's longest-standing member Carmit Bachar. Development began in February 2008 where the group worked with previous collaborators Sean Garrett, Polow da Don and Timbaland and new ones such as Darkchild, J-Roc and Ne-Yo. Additionally four songs recorded for Her Name is Nicole were given by Scherzinger as she felt that the songs were better suited for the group.

Doll Domination generally received mixed to negative reviews from music critics, who criticized its anonymity, longevity and material that doesn't live up to its predecessor. It debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 becoming the group's highest charting album; however the album is considered a commercial disappointment. It experienced similar peaks on the charts, debuting at number three in Canada and number four in Australia and the United Kingdom. Seven singles were released from the album which included the international hits "When I Grow Up", "I Hate This Part" and "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)"—which credited Scherzinger as featured artist—charted in the top twenty of the Billboard Hot 100. To support the album, the group embarked on their second headlining concert tour, entitled the Doll Domination Tour. Throughout 2009 the album was reissued in several different forms.

Uh uh uh ohh yeah

I never needed you to be strong

I never needed you for pointing out my wrongs

I never needed pain

I never needed strain

My love for you was strong enough, you should have known

I never needed you for judgements

I never needed you to question what I spent

I never asked for help

I take care of myself

I don't know why you think you got a hold on me

And it's a little late for conversations

There isn't anything for you to say

And my eyes hurt, hands shiver

So look at me and listen to me because

I don't want to stay another minute

I don't want you to say a single word

Hush, hush

Hush, hush

There is no other way

I get the final say

Because

I don't want to, do these any longer

I don't want you

There's nothing left to say

Hush, hush

Hush, hush

I've already spoken

Our love is broken

Baby

Hush hush

I never needed your corrections

On everything from how I act to what I say

I never needed words

I never needed hurt

I never needed you to be there everyday

I'm sorry for the way I let go

Of everything I wanted when you came along

But I am never beaten

Broken, not defeated

I know next to you is not where I belong

And it's a little late for explanations

There isn't anything that you can do

And my eyes hurt, hands shiver

So you will listen when I say

Baby

I don't want to stay another minute

I don't want you to say a single word

Hush, hush

Hush, hush

There is no other way

I get the final say

Because

I don't want to, do these any longer

I don't want you

There's nothing left to say

Hush hush

Hush hush

I've already spoken

Our love is broken

Baby

Hush hush

First I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But I spent oh so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

But I grew strong, I learned how to carry on

Ooohhh...

Hush hush, hush hush

I've already spoken, our love is broken baby

Oh no, not I

I will survive

Ohh as long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live, I've got all my love to give

And I will survive, I will survive

Hey Hey

Hush hush, hush hush

There is no other way, I get the final say,

I don't want to, do this any longer

I don't want you, there's nothing left to say

Hush hush, hush hush

I've already spoken, my heart is broken

Baby, hush hush.
