Production and release

"Out of This Club" was written by its featured artists R. Kelly and Jamal "Polow da Don" Jones, with the former also producing and arranging it.[1] The song marks the third time The Pussycat Dolls collaborated with the record producer, who previously produced "Buttons" from PCD (2005) and "Whatcha Think About That" of Doll Domination (2008).[1][2] The vocals were recorded by Ian Mereness, Abel Garibaldi, Jeff Meeks, and Eric Schlotzer at The Chocolate Factory in Chicago, Illinois. It was mixed by Dave Pensado and Jaycen Joshua, with Kelly providing additional assistance. It was programmed by Mereness, Meeks, and Schlotzer. Guitars were played by Donnie Lyle and Patrick Hayes. Kelly appeared courtesy of Jive Records.[1] In August 2008, Rap-Up first reported that "Out of This Club" would be included in the group's second studio album Doll Domination (2008).[3] The song impacted US urban contemporary airplay stations on October 12, 2008,[4] following the release of the album's second single "Whatcha Think About That".[5] Its followed Kelly's acquittal of possessing child pornography in 2002 by a couple of months.[6]

Removal from album and sale

In January 2019, the television documentary Surviving R. Kelly exposed new allegations of sexual misconduct and assault. In response, the Pussycat Dolls asked their former label, Interscope Records to remove the song from all streaming platforms, meaning neither artist could profit from the song.[19] Beginning April 2019, the song was also excluded from subsequent CD pressings of Doll Domination.[20] During an interview with Heat magazine, member Kimberly Wyatt explained that the collaboration was out of the group's hands: "When it came to the music, and when it came to R. Kelly, that was completely out of my hands. I had nothing to do with the song or the choice. I never met the man, I was never in the studio with him. If I had had more power I probably would have made it a bit different."[21]
