Release and promotion

In January 2008, Danity Kane posted a bulletin on their official MySpace page expressing that they were giving their fans a chance to vote for one of two new songs that they thought were appropriate to become the lead single, with "Damaged" and "Pretty Boy" being the two choices for online voters to choose from. However, "Damaged" overshadowed the competition, consequently becoming Danity Kane's first single off the group's sophomore album. On January 28, 2008, group members Aubrey O'Day and Dawn Angelique Richard posted bulletins on their respective MySpace sites stating that "Damaged" was indeed the first single from their most recent album. Danity Kane eventually performed "Damaged" for the very first time at Spotlight on Bad Boy R&B Night.[1]

The production of the song is featured on the seventh episode of the second seaspn of MTV's Making the Band series. For promotion, the band performed "Damaged" on television shows such as the The Tyra Banks Show, Jimmy Kimmel Live!, The Morning Show with Mike and Juliet, Nashville Star, and MTV's Total Request Live.

The song has been used on the TV shows America's Best Dance Crew and So You Think You Can Dance.

Throughout the video, choreography is done along with the music and the girls are shown in a futuristic room with screens of them performing the choreography, which they see while laying down on a futuristic bed. Towards the end of the music video, the bed that the girls is laying on closes to form a heart, which happens to be the heart of a man on a stretcher in a hospital. Here he is trying to be revived by the operators who turns out to be Danity Kane. The music video then transitions to a setting where the man is in his bedroom with a note on him saying "Tired of the damage - DK".
