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.
