Songfacts®:

  • This breakup number was released as the second single from Doll Domination in Europe, while the US had Whatcha Think About That. Doll Domination, issued in 2008, was the second and final album The Pussycat Dolls released. They broke up in 2010 with lead singer Nicole Scherzinger launching a solo career.
  • This was co-written and produced by Scandanavians Jonas Jeberg (Kylie Minogue, Monrose) and Cutfather (Ace of Base, Kylie Minogue and Jamelia). The other two credited writers were Lucas Secon, whose 1994 album Lucacentric was a Top 10 hit in over ten countries, and Wayne Hector whose songwriting partnership with Steve McCutcheon, produced several UK #1 hits including "Swear it Again" and "Flying Without Wings," both for Westlife.
  • Joseph Kahn, who directed the music video for the Dolls' "When I Grow Up," also directed this song's clip. Nicole Scherzinger sings at the piano while the rest of the girls are stranded in the desert with a broken-down car.
