Hush Hush

About Hush Hush

"Hush Hush; Hush Hush" is the remix of "Hush Hush", a song by American female group the Pussycat Dolls. The track was written by Andreas Romdhane, Josef Larossi, Ina Wroldsen, Nicole Scherzinger, Dino Fekaris, and Freddie Perren and produced by the former two alongside Ron Fair and Dave Audé is included on the reissues of the group's second album Doll Domination (2008). It was released on May 12, 2009 by Interscope Records as the album's seventh over and final single. It is also the group's final release before their disbandment in 2010 until they reformed in 2019. Originally a ballad, the song was remixed for its release as a single with a more uptempo production and interpolation of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" (1978) with lyrics alluding to an ill-fated relationship. As with "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", lead singer Nicole Scherzinger was originally to be credited as a featured artist on the song, causing further dissatisfaction within the group. Following a public outburst by Melody Thornton during one of the group's tour appearances, the single was ultimaltely released without Scherzinger's billing as a featured artist. The song was a moderate commercial success, managing to peak top-ten in Australia, Belgium (Wallonia), Finland and France. In the United States, it charted at 73 on the Billboard Hot 100, and topped the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. An accompanying music video for the song, directed by Ray Kay, premiered on May 27, 2009. The video was met with mixed reviews, criticizing the over-emphasis on Scherzinger but noted for being "the most revealing Pussycat Dolls video yet" by critics. more »
