About Hush Hush; 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.

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 judgments
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 gotta hold on me

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 this 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
It's a little late for conversations
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 every day

I'm sorry for the way I let go
On everything I wanted when you came along
But I ain't never beaten', broken not defeated
I know next to you is not where I belong
