Doll Domination is the second studio album by American girl group the Pussycat Dolls. It was released on September 19, 2008, by Interscope Records. The album's release was preceded by the departure of the group's longest-standing member Carmit Bachar. Its production commenced in early 2008, employing previous collaborators Sean Garrett, Polow da Don and Timbaland, as well as Rodney Jerkins, J-Roc and Chase N. Cashe. Polow da Don, R. Kelly and Snoop Dogg also make guest performances on the album. Several songs on Doll Domination were originally recorded for the lead singer Nicole Scherzinger's shelved solo debut album, Her Name Is Nicole, which was shelved after the under-performance of its preceding singles.
