When I Grow Up

"When I Grow Up" is a song by American girl group The Pussycat Dolls from their second studio album Doll Domination (2008). "When I Grow Up" was written by Theron and Timothy Thomas, along with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who also produced the song. Also, this is the 1st single that doesn't feature former member of the group and main singer Carmit Bachar. The song starts out with Nicole Scherzinger singing the 1st verse with Ashley Roberts singing the 1st pre-chorus. The 2nd verse is sung by Melody Thornton and the 2nd pre-chorus is sung by Nicole Scherzinger. The bridge is also sung by Nicole Scherzinger and a little by Melody Thornton. The chorus is sung by all the Dolls. The music video version of the song takes out one of the choruses and uses a dance break instead.
== Music Video ==
The music video was filmed in April 2008. on Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, with Joseph Khan directing. Britney Spears was supposed to appear in a short scene, waving at the The Dolls while driving by but it was cut from the final video.
In the video the Pussycat Dolls are shown sitting in a car in the middle of a traffic jam, where Scherzinger flashes a ring that says "famous". They sing the introduction of the song in the car before jumping out. When the chorus kicks in, the women leave the car and stand on the roofs of the other cars and start dancing a routine. Then they walk down a street of Hollywood stars with bubbles floating all around them. As they walk down the street, they also stop to sing on a bench. As the second chorus starts, the Dolls climb scaffolding and begin to dance. During Scherzinger's solo, she stands in a small area with the Pussycat Dolls logo to the left and a mirror to the right, with lights flashing. Her scene is intercut with shots of the other Dolls dancing in front of the logo. The Dolls then dance in the breakdown section with the logo behind them and the camera zooms out to reveal filming equipment and playback screens.
