## Music Video

**"Hush Hush; Hush Hush"** is a song by The Pussycat Dolls and is a remix of **"Hush Hush"**. The remix version is included on the reissue of *Doll Domination*, replacing the original version. It was released as the seventh single from the album and is their final single before the group's breakup in 2010. It also the last single with Melody Thornton as she chose not to return for the Dolls' reunion in 2019.

## Background

The remixed version of the song is an up beat song and includes a sample of Gloria Gaynor's song, "I Will Survive". Like the Dolls' previous single, "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)", the song was to credit Nicole Scherzinger as a featured artist. This caused further dissatisfaction within the group which led to a public outburst by Melody during one of their tour stops. Afterwards, Nicole's credit was dropped from digital downloads.

## Music video

The music video for the "Hush Hush; Hush Hush" was directed by Rich Lee, filmed in March 2009. The video makes use of product placement of Campari, Nokia 5800 XpressMusic and HP Mini 1000 Vivienne Tam Edition.The video premiered on May 26, 2009.

### Synopsis

The music video begins with Nicole Scherzinger lounging in a bathtub, similar to a scene of Cindy Crawford in George Michael's video for "Freedom! '90" (1990). As the ballad transits unto the remix she passes a door onto a surreal hall of staircases going in different directions. When the second verse begins, Scherzinger is seen wearing a gold sequinned halterneck dress while the rest of the members are seen skating in a roller disco. In the next scene in the attic while Ashley Roberts and Kimberly Wyatt are hanging from the chandeliers as Scherzinger enters the room. As the second chorus begins, Scherzinger wears a tight-fitting silver basque.

She enters into the basement, which it turned into a nightclub the Dolls for their signature dance sequence in the middle of the video. In the scene Perez Hilton makes a cameo appearance as a DJ, while Carmen Electra dances beside him. The video then fades, and opens on a close shot of Scherzinger's face in front of a disco mirror ball wearing an afro wig, which paid homage to Diana Ross. After, the Pussycat Dolls are dancing with male partners in the room with the mirror ball. At the end, Nicole Scherzinger is finishing the song singing "Baby, Hush Hush". It closes with a large shot which reveals the video to have taken place in a dollhouse with all dancers and Dolls in the lowest disco room.

## Lyrics

* Single version
* Original version

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 judgment

I never needed you to question what I spend

I never asked for help

I take care of myself

I don't know why you think you've got a hold on me

And it's a little late for 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

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 everyday

I'm sorry for the way I let go

Of everything I wanted when you came along

But I am never beaten,

Broken nor defeated

I know next to you is not where I belong

And it's a little late for explanations

There isn't anything that you can do

And my eyes hurt, hands shiver

So you will listen when I say

Baby

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 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

First I was afraid, I was petrified

Kept thinking I could never live without you by my side

But I spent oh so many nights thinking how you did me wrong

But I grew strong

I learned how to carry on

Hush Hush; Hush Hush

I've already spoken

Our love is broken

Baby

Oh no, now I,

I will survive

As long as I know how to love I know I'll stay alive

I've got all my life to live,

I've got all my love to give

And I will survive

I will survive

Hush Hush; Hush Hush

There is no other way I get the final say

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 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 judgement

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

And it's a little late for 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

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 beatin', broken not defeated

I know next to you is not where I belong

And it's a little late for explanations

There isn't anything that you can do

And my eyes hurt, hands shiver

So you will listen when I say

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

No more words

No more lies

No more crying ooh ooh

No more pain

No more hurt

No more tryin' Oh Oh Yeah

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
