"Bottle Pop" is a song by American

(2009).

Reception

Critical

Nick Bond of

MTV Australia described "Bottle Pop" as "pneumatic" whilst regarding it as one of the musical highlights of Doll Domination.[7] New York Daily News critic Jim Farber wrote the song has "a moronic hook [listeners] can't resist."[8] Writing for Billboard, Mariel Concepcion opined that "Bottle Pop" induces the listeners with "visceral thrills."[9] Spence D. of IGN described the song as "insidious" adding "it's straight Mac 'n Cheese, ultimately not the most healthy choice, but kind of tasty nonetheless."[10]
Allmusic also criticized the rapper's appearance labelling it as "phoned-in".[15] Rashod Ollison of The Baltimore Sun used the same phrase as Erlewine when describing Dogg's appearance adding he "[does] nothing to elevate the calculated [track]".[16]

Chart performance

"Bottle Pop" debuted at number 88 on the

ARIA Singles Chart,[21] and went on to peak at number 17, four weeks later.[22] In New Zealand, the version featuring Devolo entered at number 19, denying Snoop Dogg's 19th chart appearance and giving the Dolls their ninth charting single in the territory.[23] In the following week it peaked at number 17.[24]

Release and promotion

"Bottle Pop" was released as a single in select territories; in New Zealand, per Interscope Records request for a local rapper, the song was remixed with vocals from rapper Devolo, replacing those of Snoop Dogg and was available for digital download on February 23, 2009.[25] On March 6, 2009, a two-track version was available for digital download in Australia on,[26] while in Germany an extended play (EP) consisting of remixes of "Bottle Pop".[27]

Austrian filmmaker Thomas Kloss directed the music video for "Bottle Pop" in early January.[28][29] Speaking to MTV News, Scherzinger elaborated that the video focuses on dance. "It's gonna be so much fun. It's gonna be a dance video. Obviously, you can tell by our wardrobe, it's going to be very colorful and fun ... freaky fun! You guys are going to be wanting to pop some bottles after this one."[30] The music video premiered on February 1, 2009, and uses an alternative version of the song that doesn't feature Snoop Dogg.[28] It features the Dolls breaking into a theater and perform the song's choreography onstage. Towards the end, male dancers appear also and together perform the ending routine. Jocelyn Vena of MTV described the group's styling as a "lethal combination of barely there costumes, big hair and lots of makeup."[30]

The Pussycat Dolls first performed "Bottle Pop" during Dick Clark's New Year's Rockin' Eve with Ryan Seacrest '09 that was broadcast live by ABC on December 31, 2008.[31] The song was included on the set list for the Dolls' headlining Doll Domination Tour (2009).[32]
