In 2004, choreographer Robin Antin had struck a joint venture with Interscope Records to develop the Pussycat Dolls, a burlesque, cabaret act that was performing in various venues in Hollywood, into a brand. In cooperation with then-chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records, Jimmy Iovine and record producer Ron Fair, Antin formed a separate group consisting of six members—Carmit Bachar, Ashley Roberts, Nicole Scherzinger, Jessica Sutta, Melody Thornton, and Kimberly Wyatt—based on the burlesque dance revue created by Antin. In order to successfully transition into a major-label, recording act, Fair felt it would be best to deviate from "straight-ahead burlesque" and transition into a more traditional, pop group with contemporary R&B influences.[10] At the suggestion of Doug Morris,[11]—then chairman of Universal Music Group—"Don't Cha" was given to the Pussycat Dolls as the label was trying to reinvent the girl group.[7] They asked Green to rerecord the song with the Pussycat Dolls, who was initially skeptical. "I didn't know too much about them, but when I found out that [Universal-owned] Interscope Records was involved, that was an alliance I didn't hesitate to make."[7] "Don't Cha" was initially offered to both Sugababes and Paris Hilton, but both declined.[12] In 2006, Hilton claimed that she was presented with the track, but was not impressed with it. "I think I did hear the song, but not in the format that we all came to know and love. If I'd heard that, of course I'd have jumped at the chance".[13]

Speaking of their collaboration, Scherzinger said, "He is so much fun. He's so humble and he just makes you feel good. We are so grateful that [Busta] did it and was a part of it with us. We feel blessed."

Music video
The music video for "Don't Cha" was filmed during the week of April 11, 2005 by Paul Hunter.[70] During an interview with MTV News, Scherzinger elaborated that the video focuses on confidence and fun. "The lyrics are: 'Don't Cha wish your girlfriend was hot like me,' But if you see the video, it's all about being who you are, having fun and being confident — and feeling hot. It's not so much about looking hot ... although looking hot is important." Scherzinger further praised Busta Rhymes for their collaboration on the set of music video, saying ""Busta Rhymes is pretty phat, man. He is so much fun. He's so humble and he just makes you feel good. When you're around him, you feel magical. [...] We are so grateful that [Busta] did it and was a part of it with us."[71]
The video begins with the Pussycat Dolls drag racing on jeeps, which one of them is a Ford Bronco in an abandoned waterway. Then, the group is seen arriving at an underground party where they do different activities such as jumping on a trampoline. The video is inter-cut with sequences of close-ups of the girls and Rhymes performing the song, while impromptu dance routines are featured on the chorus. Inspired by pole-dancing, the dance routine also includes a move called the slutdrop. The music video is credited as the origin of the slutdrop, which later became popular among contemporary female artists.[72] Throughout the video Scherzinger is seen wearing a hoodie that emblazons the song's lyrics are emblazons across the top while the other members are wearing "barely there miniskirts and bare midriffs."[73][74] The Pussycat Dolls' creator Robin Antin and the song's producer CeeLo Green make cameo appearances towards the end.
Reception and accolades
The music video was widely popular, receiving heavy rotation on MTV, and established the group as mainstays for subsequent videos.[74] VH1 listed "Don't Cha" as the fourteenth most viewed video of 2005.[75] Billy Johnson Jr. of Yahoo! Music wrote that the video is "a fantasy come true" adding "front and center, the stunning Nicole Scherzinger, surrounded by good company, pranced around in tank tops and short shorts while drag racing in convertible jeeps. They raised the bar."[76] Richard Harrington of The Washington Post described the video as "hot-hot-hot."[73] The Wall Street Journal's Ethan Smith commented that the video "is somewhat less racy than the average hip-hop video."[10] Naomi West of The Telegraph wrote that the video "is no more titillating than any of Jennifer Lopez's or Beyoncé's, and a good deal less than Christina Aguilera's sweat-drenched 'Dirrty' promo."[17] Billboard regarded it as the best music video of the Pussycat Dolls career.[74]
In 2005, it won Best Video at the Smash Hits Poll Winners Party.[77] The following year, it earned nominations for Best R&B Video at the 2006 MTV Australia Video Music Awards,[78] Best International Video - Group and People's Choice: Favourite International Group at the 2006 MuchMusic Video Awards,[79] and Best Dance Video at the 21st Annual International Dance Music Awards.[80] Billboard's Andrew Unterberger included the music video on its list of "Top 10 Most Iconic Girl Group Music Videos" commenting that "it was inevitable that the song and video would become massive, and become massive they did" as "Don't Cha" presented them "as a virtually unstoppable army of seduction."[74]

The performance was set within the context of a comedy sketch where they poked fun at the controversy that aroused following their The X Factor: Celebrity. As part of the performance, a TV test card flashed up on screen from ITV reading "we're sorry for the disruption... we're working hard to fix the issue and will return to normal family-friendly, not at all sexy, uncontroversial programming soon." The test card was revealed to be a backdrop which the group jumped through.[92]
