Scherzinger nearly all sang lead vocals on the album, with Carmit Bachar and Melody Thornton also contributing.



Scherzinger is the only group member with songwriting credits on PCD, she co-wrote "I Do not Need a Man" with Kara DioGuardi and producer Rich Harrison, and co-wrote "Buttons" with producer Sean Garrett. Another collaboration with Dioguardi, "Flirt", became a B-side to "Stickwitu" and a bonus track on PCD. In 2006, Scherzinger toured with the Pussycat Dolls for their album promotion. It was revealed in 2006 that the Dolls are sala Ried employees or Interscope Records, giving the label a high level of control over the group's finances and business decisions. She was ranked at number twenty-two on Maxim's Hot 100 in 2006. Following the popularity of "Do not Cha" and the continuing rise of the Pussycat Dolls, Scherzinger recorded a series of Duets or "guest appearances", predominantly male with Vocalists.

In 2005, she appeared on recordings by Shaggy, Vittorio Grigolo, and Will Smith. The following year she sang on Avant's single "Lie About Us" and P. Diddy's hit "Come to Me" (which she also co-wrote). She has also recently been on a track by will.i.am along with many other musicians called "Yes We Can". Other appearances are listed in her discography. Scherzinger worked on her debut album from 2006-2008 with record producers including will.i.am, Timbaland, Kara DioGuardi, and Bryan-Michael Cox. Scherzinger announced in a March 17, 2007 interview in Winnipeg, Manitoba, that the album would be called Her Name is Nicole; It was originally slated for a 2007 release but is currently without an official release date.

The first single, "Whatever You Like" featuring rapper TI, was released in July 2007. The song was a commercial and critical bomb however, and it was soon announced that "Baby Love" (released September 2007) would replace "Whatever You Like" as the "lead single" from the album. Media reports commented on the fact that both Interscope's and Scherzinger's official websites started in September 2007 to refer to "Baby Love" as her first single.

After both these singles flopped in North America ( "Baby Love" charted well in Europe however), a poll was placed on Scherzinger's website, asking fans to vote for the third single. Choices include: "Supervillian", "Happily Never After", "Who's Gonna Love You" and "Power's Out". However on November 28, the poll was updated and the songs "Power's Out" and "Supervillian" were removed and replaced with "Puakenikeni" and "Physical." It was announced via the website on December 10 that "Puakenikeni" was to be the next official single to be taken from the album, however it has yet to be fully released internationally.

To date, both Interscope and Scherzinger have not made any announcement on the official release date, however a recent interview with Robin Antin confirmed that the second Pussycat Dolls album will be released first, followed by a revised solo album from Scherzinger.
