"Don't Cha"
Song

"Don't Cha" is a song performed by American girl group The Pussycat Dolls for their debut self-titled studio album PCD (2005). The song was written and produced by Cee-Lo Green and features American rapper Busta Rhymes. The song samples "Swass" by Sir Mix-a-Lot. The song was originally recorded by American recording artist Tori Alamaze, and was released as her debut single in March 2005, on Universal Records. After Universal Records dropped her from the label, Cee-Lo Green gave the track to the Pussycat Dolls. The song was released in 2005 as the lead single from the Dolls' debut studio album PCD. "Don't Cha" is about a girl who teases a man that she is more attractive than his girlfriend.

The song received positive reviews from most music critics who praised its R&B grooves and it high dose of energy. "Don't Cha" was a commercial success in the United States, peaking at number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for three consecutive weeks, and number one on the pop chart for seven consecutive weeks. It also went number one across Europe and Oceania where it reached the top position in 15 countries including Australia, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and the United Kingdom. "Don't Cha" had sold more than six million copies worldwide, becoming one of the one of the best-selling singles of all time worldwide. It has since been considered one of the biggest pop hits,[1][2] and best selling songs of the digital era.[3][4] "Don't Cha" also remains the best selling song by a female group in the United States with 2,260,000 paid downloads.[5]

The song's accompanying music video features the group in various dance sequences. Since 2005, "Don't Cha" has been a staple in lead member Nicole Scherzinger's live performances and concert tours. Other artists have covered the song, and it has been used in various television shows and other media. It became the best-selling single by a female group.

Background

In January 2004, in a basement studio in Atlanta, Cee Lo Green (then still known as a member of Goodie Mob) finished producing the song "Don't Cha" which revolved around the hook from Sir Mix-a-Lot's "Swass" taken from album of the same name.[6] The song was originally written for Tori Alamaze, a former backing vocalist for the hip hop duo OutKast.[6] In November, Alamaze signed with Universal Records and decided to release the song as her first single from her debut album which was due to release that same year. However, months later, Alamaze decided to part ways with the label as she was "unhappy" and felt that she "got caught up in the middle of egos and favors."[6] Thus she agreed to give up her rights to the song to get out of her contract.[6] The song was still playing on radio while copies were available at stores.[6] Her version of the song received minor success reaching number 53 on Billboard's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.[7]

After Universal Records dropped Almaze, the label was still very much interested in "Don’t Cha". Record executives asked Green to rerecord "Don't Cha" with The Pussycat Dolls. Initially Green was skeptical saying, "I didn't know too much about them [...], but when I found out that [Universal-owned] Interscope Records was involved, that was an alliance I didn't hesitate to make."[7] The Pussycat Dolls version was recorded around March adding two verses from rapper Busta Rhymes. Lead singer Nicole Scherzinger admitted that two records sounded identical. "I had [Alamaze's] version as a guide. But ours is just a bit fresher."[6] This song was initially offered to both Sugababes and Paris Hilton, but both declined.[8] In 2006, Hilton claimed that she was presented with the track, but was not impressed with it, commenting. "I think I did hear the song, but not in the format that we all came to know and love. If I'd heard that, of course I'd have jumped at the chance".[9]

"Don't Cha" received mainly positive reviews. Lisa Haines from BBC described the track as "memorable". She continued saying "[it's] a groovy R&B duet with Busta Rhymes, is easily the best."[10] Sal Cinquemani from Slant Magazine said that, "[...] The Pussycat Dolls have certainly carved a niche for themselves in 21st century pop history. Their brassy, sassy debut single, 'Don't Cha', featuring Busta Rhymes, stormed the charts with its various incarnations, held from the pole position on Billboard's Hot 100 only by Mariah Carey's monster comeback 'We Belong Together'."[11] Isaac McCalla from About.com praised the song. "This single is a serious dose of high energy, wickedly fun and slammin' house music."[12]

Stephen Thomas Erlewine also favored the song saying "there has never been a sex song quite as knowingly ironic yet undeniably sexy as this, and for a while the album keeps the momentum up."[13] John Murphy said that, [...] the single "Don't Cha" is rather good – a silky, sexy little number with a refrain of "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me" that will become ubiquitous by the end of the month." However he said that Busta Rhymes is annoying. "It's a shame that Busta Rhymes is as typically annoying as ever, but he doesn't spoil the song too much."[14] Azeem Ahmad also from musicOMH in a separate review commented: "Strangely enough 'Don't Cha' isn't purely eye candy." However he was critical stating: "not even Busta Rhymes' cameo appearance can prevent Don't Cha from seeming like nothing more than a promo for some generic product aimed at young males."[15] A reviewer from Contactmusic.com gave the song 4 out 5 stars favoring the "serious dose of high energy and raunchy message," while criticized the song for not having "any vocal talent."[16]

Recognition and accolades

Chris Kal of WKNS ranked "Don't Cha" at number four in his list of "Top 10 Summer Songs From 2005".[17] Bill Lamb writing for About.com ranked the song at number thirty on his list of the Top 100 Pop Songs 2005,[18] and at two on his list of the Top 10 Most Memorable Pop Song Lyrics 2005 for the line ""Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me? Don't cha wish your girlfriend was a freak like me?".[19] In August 2013, Billboard ranked "Don't Cha" third best song of the Summer of 2005.[20] In September 2009, The Official Charts Company listed "Don't Cha" at number five, as of the most downloaded song since its launch, respectively.[21] In September 2011, VH1 ranked "Don't Cha" at number ninety-six on its list of The 100 Greatest Songs of the 2000s.[22] In June 2013, Fuse included the song on the list of "50 Girls Who Run The World"[23] and the "Top 100 Pop Breakthroughs".[24] In July 2013, The Huffington Post ranked the song at number 29 on its list of the top fifty number ones of the last ten years.[25]

Music video

An accompanying music video for "Don't Cha" was directed by Paul Hunter during the the week of April 11, 2005.[49] Nicole Scherzinger told MTV News that the video was all about having fun. "Busta Rhymes is pretty phat, man. He is so much fun. He's so humble and he just makes you feel good. When you're around him, you feel magical. The lyrics are, 'Don't cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me.'... But if you see the video, it's all about being who you are, having fun and being confident — and feeling hot. It's not so much about looking hot ... although looking hot is important."[50]

MTV's Brandee J. Tecson commented, "leave it to the Pussycat Dolls to cast someone in their music video who can actually steal attention away from six gyrating half-naked chicks."[50] Billy Johnson, Jr. of Yahoo! Music said, "front and center, the stunning Nicole Scherzinger, surrounded by good company, pranced around in tank tops and short shorts while drag racing in convertible jeeps. They raised the bar."[51] VH1 listed "Don't Cha" at number fourteen on its Top 40 Videos of 2005.[52] At the 2006 International Dance Music Awards the music video was nominated for Best Dance Video.[30] At the 2006 MTV Australia Video Music Awards the video was nominated for the Best R&B video but lost to Chris Brown's Run It!.[32]

Prior the performance Scherzinger said, "We are so psyched [to play tonight]. We can't wait. It's going to be amazing." While closing their set with "Don't Cha", MTV's Brandee J. Tecson commented, "Like a lot of the day's performers, the Dolls were newcomers to the Wango stage, but ended the night like veterans."[53] On August 14, 2005 The Pussycat Dolls performed "Don't Cha" at the 2005 Teen Choice Awards.[54] On December 2005 the group performed for the annual KIIS-FM Jingle Ball wearing "festive candy-cane-striped belly shirts and red-and-green capri pants." The set list included "Don't Cha", 'Stickwitu" and "Wait a Minute".[55] On June 30, 2006, The Pussycat Dolls performed on Good Morning America as part of its Summer Concert Series along with "Buttons" and "Stickwitu".[56]
