Music : The Pussycat Dolls - When I Grow Up (Single)

After a failed attempt at becoming a solo artist, Nicole Scherzinger decided to regroup with her four backup dancers and continue on with the Pussycat Dolls. On “When I Grow Up,” she still seems to be the only one providing any distinguishable vocals, which disappoints me. Other members of the group, like Melody Thornton, have proven they are capable of singing. They could at least allow the rest of the dolls to sing backup vocals.

With that said, Nicole didn’t come back to an actual group. She’s just releasing more solo material with some high-profile backup dancers at her side. But she’s still a fantastic vocalist. Her voice bends and twists to fit the different tones and moods of the song; never sounding weak and always having personality. It makes me wonder if she’s the only one who sings because it’s written somewhere in their contracts, or if she’s just that much better than the rest of the group.

With the vocals aside, Darkchild served it up hot with this one. The beat is a danceable, guitar driven club banger with some synths jumping in at the chorus to give some modern flavor to the song. The lyrics are fun and have the same conceited nature as “Don’t Cha” and most of their songs afterward. The cliché, “Be careful what you wish for / ‘Cause you just might get it,” seems to be the strongest line of all, but doesn’t exactly fit the tone of the song.

After hearing it, I feel like I’ll be eternally confused as to whether or not the Pussycat Dolls are calling fame a curse or not.

“When I Grow Up” may not become worldwide phenomenon like some of its ancestors did, but it will certainly remind us that we should have missed the Pussycat Dolls while they were gone.

Pussycat Dolls When I Grow Up Lyric

boys call you sexy
and you don’t care what they say
See everytime you turn around they screaming your name
boys call you sexy
and you don’t care what they say
See everytime you turn around they screaming your name

Now ive got a confession
When I was young I wanted attention
And I promised myself that I’d do anything
Anything at all for them to notice me
But I aint complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You don’t know what its like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
Cus see when I was younger I would say

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star,
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on tv
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

They used to tell me I was silly
until i poped up on the tv
I always wanted to be a superstar
And knew that singing songs would get me this far

But I aint complaining
We all wanna be famous
So go ahead and say what you wanna say
You don’t know what its like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is
Cus see when I was younger I would say

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star,
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on tv
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

I see them staring at me
Oh im a trendsetter
Yes this is true cus what I do, no one can do it better
You can talk about me, cus im a hot topic
I see you watching me watching me and I know you want it

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star,
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
I wanna see the world
Drive nice cars
I wanna have groupies

When I grow up
Be on tv
People know me
Be on magazines

When I grow up
Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

Be careful what you wish for cus you just might get it
You just might get it
You just might get it

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star,
I wanna be in movies

When I grow up
