"I Hate This Part" is a song by the American girl group the Pussycat Dolls, taken from their second studio album Doll Domination (2008). It was written by Wayne Hector, Lucas Secon, Jonas Jeberg, Mich Hansen and produced by the latter two and Ron Fair. The track was initially intended for Leona Lewis and later for Nicole Scherzinger's unreleased solo album, Her Name is Nicole. After the album's cancellation, the song was ultimately given to the group. Musically, it is a pop ballad with elements of grinding R&B and dance music. Lyrically, it sees Scherzinger conversating with a partner just before they break up, adopting breathy and emotional vocals. Interscope Records released it as the second single in territories outside the United States on October 14, 2008, and sent it to the US mainstream radio on October 21, 2008, as the fourth single.

The song was praised by critics for its melodramatic nature, songwriting, and Scherzinger's vocal performance. Some critics found the song fails to diversify the group's music portfolio and give them any musical identity. Commercially, in the United States, the song peaked at number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and peaked atop the Hot Dance Club Songs chart for two weeks. It received a platinum certification from the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA). Outside of the US, the song peaked at number one in Romania and in the top ten of thirteen other national charts including in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and New Zealand. Its songwriters were honored by the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers (ASCAP) and Broadcast Music, Inc. (BMI) for their contributions to the song.

The song's music video, directed by Joseph Kahn, is set in a desert and features close-up shots of each member and dance in the rain towards the end. While it was noted for being less suggestive compared to their previous music videos, critics negatively questioned the role of the other four members in the video. To promote "I Hate This Part", the Pussycat Dolls performed it on many television programs and awards show, including 2008 American Music Awards, 2009 NRJ Music Awards, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.

Conception and development

"I Hate This Part" was conceived during a writing session for British singer Leona Lewis by Wayne Hector, Lucas Secon, Jonas Jeberg, and Mich Hansen in Cutfather Studios in Copenhagen, Denmark.{{Cite AV media notes|title=Doll Domination|year=2008|others=The Pussycat Dolls|type=poster|publisher=Interscope Records}}{{cite journal|title=Just call him Mr Diversity|last=Williams|first=Paul|date=December 6, 2008|page=14|journal=Music Week|issn=0265-1548}} As the session drew to a close, Hector started playing a simple piano and came up with a melody, and asked Jeberg to sit next to him at the piano while he would sing a line; that later became the hook of the song.{{cite web|url=http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/2010/February1_4_14_12.html|archive-url=https://archive.today/20140123192421/http://www.hitquarters.com/index.php3?page=intrview/2010/February1_4_14_12.html|title=Interview with Wayne Hector, songwriter for Susan Boyle, Pussycat Dolls, Westlife|last=Bouwman|first=Kimbel|date=February 1, 2010|archive-date=January 23, 2014|publisher=HitQuarters|access-date=September 24, 2014|url-status=dead}} According to Jeberg, he was tasked to "[create] new chords from that melody" and began playing it as a piano theme which later turned "into a progression, where the top notes were in that melody;" this "became the link through the whole song."{{cite web|url=https://www.songwriteruniverse.com/jonas-jeberg-songwriter-2019.htm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190212013223/https://www.songwriteruniverse.com/jonas-jeberg-songwriter-2019.htm|title=Jonas Jeberg Co-Writes & Co-Produces Big Hit "High Hopes" For Panic!

According to Hector, the song was completed within an hour, due to time constraints. That night, the song was e-mailed to producer Ron Fair who immediately responded, stating, "When can you come to L.A. to record this? I want this song for the Pussycat Dolls."

According to Nicole Scherzinger, lead singer of the group, the song was first recorded her debut studio album, Her Name Is Nicole.{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a278242/scherzinger-solo-lp-will-surprise.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110611164913/http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/news/a278242/scherzinger-solo-lp-will-surprise.html|title=Scherzinger: 'Solo LP will surprise'|last=Copsey|first=Rob|date=September 29, 2010|archive-date=June 11, 2011|publisher=Digital Spy|access-date=March 23, 2021|url-status=live}} Scherzinger recorded her vocals at The Boiler Room in Santa Monica, California with the help of Mike "Angry" Eleopoulos, Tal Herzberg and Jeberg with the assistance from Johnathan Merritt. During the recording process, Scherzinger was vocally inspired by English and American rock singers Sting and Steve Perry.{{cite web|url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7528399.stm|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160307065837/http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/entertainment/7528399.stm|title=Pussycats, where have you been?|last=Savage|first=Mark|date=July 29, 2008|archive-date=March 7, 2016|publisher=BBC News|access-date=September 24, 2014|url-status=live}} It was later mixed by Peter Mokran and Eric Weaver at Conway Studios in Hollywood, California. All instrumentation and programming were carried out by Jeberg who also produced the song with the Cutfather and Fair. Her Name is Nicole was met with multiple delays due to poor commercial reception of its singles.{{cite magazine|url=https://ew.com/article/2007/12/14/nicole-scherzingers-solo-debut-delays/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20150715202224/https://ew.com/article/2007/12/14/nicole-scherzingers-solo-debut-delays/|title=Nicole Scherzinger's solo debut delays|last=Stack|first=Tim|date=December 14, 2007|archive-date=July 15, 2015|magazine=Entertainment Weekly|access-date=March 23, 2021|url-status=live}} After its cancellation, "I Hate This Part" was included in the group's second album, Doll Domination. Prior to the album's cancellation, Interscope Records planned to rework several songs from her album, in order to save costs. In 2010, Scherzinger claimed it was her request to not release the album, as she felt that many of the songs, were better suited to the Dolls album.

It is one of the several songs of Doll Domination that ditch the Doll's usual sexual image in favor of a more 'introspective, sad, lonely girl approach'." The song is written in the key of D minor with a time signature in common time and a tempo of 110 beats per minute and uses a simple chord progression of D4—F(add 9)—C—B♭2.{{cite web|title=Pussycat Dolls – I Hate This Part sheet music|url=https://www.musicnotes.com/sheetmusic/mtd.asp?ppn=MN0071790 |work=Musicnotes.com| date=February 6, 2009 |publisher=Alfred Publishing}} Instrumentation consists of a mournful piano, faux strings and syncopated rhythms.{{cite web|url=https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/09/23/pussycat-dolls-doll-domination-review|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191017123650/https://www.ign.com/articles/2008/09/23/pussycat-dolls-doll-domination-review|title=Review: Pussycat Dolls' 'Doll Domination'|last=D.|first=Spence|date=September 23, 2008|archive-date=October 17, 2019|publisher=IGN|access-date=March 23, 2020|url-status=live}} The song also features a dubbing drum loops similar to Kylie Minogue's "All I See" (2008) and Jordin Sparks' "One Step at a Time" (2008), which were also produced by Danish production duo Jeberg and Cutfather.

Balls wrote that the song's slowed down production does not "[put] a halt to their momentum."

Nick Levine from the same entertainment website, called the song "wonderfully melodramatic".{{cite web|url=http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/review/a131004/pussycat-dolls-doll-domination.html|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210209123756/https://www.digitalspy.com/music/album-reviews/a131004/pussycat-dolls-doll-domination/|title=Pussycat Dolls: 'Doll Domination'|last=Levine|first=Nick|archive-date=February 9, 2021|date=September 24, 2008|publisher=Digital Spy|access-date=March 23, 2021}} BBC's Fraser McAlpine complimented Scherzinger for conveying emotions without being sexy.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog/2008/11/pussycat_dolls_i_hate_this_par.shtml|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170511155430/https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/chartblog/2008/11/pussycat_dolls_i_hate_this_par.shtml|title=Pussycat Dolls - 'I Hate This Part'|last=McAlpine|first=Fraser|date=November 21, 2008|archive-date=May 11, 2017|work=BBC|access-date=July 21, 2021|url-status=live}}

Joseph Khan was chosen to direct the visual, after directing the Pussycat Dolls on their previous single, "When I Grow Up".{{cite web|url=https://www.rap-up.com/2008/10/11/video-the-pussycat-dolls-i-hate-this-part/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20081014033345/https://www.rap-up.com/2008/10/11/video-the-pussycat-dolls-i-hate-this-part/|title=Video: The Pussycat Dolls - 'I Hate This Part'|archive-date=October 14, 2008|date=October 11, 2008|publisher=Rap-Up|access-date=September 25, 2014|url-status=live}} Prior filming the video, Thornton acknowledged to Rap-Up that they would be filming the music video during her 24th birthday revealing it would be filmed in the desert. Throughout the clip, the Pussycat Dolls have close-up against different backdrops and pose suggestively. Scenes include Scherzinger playing the piano, and in a junkyard with abandoned cars.{{cite web|url=http://music.yahoo.com/blogs/framed/pussycat-dolls-framed.html|title=Pussycat Dolls, Framed|last=Kordosh|first=John|date=January 20, 2009|publisher=Yahoo!

In comparison to previous music videos, Nick Levine from Digital Spy, felt that "I Hate this Part" "is a less racy affair than usual."{{cite web|url=https://www.digitalspy.com/music/a133799/pussycat-dolls-stay-covered-up-mostly/|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190217031729/https://www.digitalspy.com/music/a133799/pussycat-dolls-stay-covered-up-mostly/|title=Pussycat Dolls stay covered up (mostly)|last=Levine|first=Nick|date=October 27, 2008|archive-date=February 17, 2019|publisher=Digital Spy|access-date=August 19, 2024|url-status=live}} John Kordosh of Yahoo! Music criticized the video for making the other four members redundant writing, they "looking good in situations that have nothing to do with anything." Similarly, Adam White, who wrote a profile piece on the group for The Daily Telegraph following their 2019 reunion, revisited the music video commenting Scherzinger gets all the "searing close-ups, while the rest of the band gesticulate in the background. It's difficult to see whether they’re even lip-synching." It was nominated for Best International Video – Group at the 2009 MuchMusic Video Awards.{{cite web|url=http://www.dose.ca/music/story.html?id=614573b6-21a0-466b-adac-23ceca8f9f0a|title=Nickelback, Danny Fernandes Lead 2009 MMVA Nominations|date=May 27, 2009|work=Dose|publisher=Postmedia Network|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120113071811/http://www.dose.ca/music/story.html?id=614573b6-21a0-466b-adac-23ceca8f9f0a|archive-date=January 13, 2012|url-status=dead|access-date=September 3, 2020}}
