What's new, pussycat? More than a decade after disbanding, The Pussycat Dolls are officially back and ready to dominate, unveiling the sensual music video for their comeback single "React" on Friday morning (Feb. 7).
In the fiery visual, the pop quintet (sans OG member Melody Thornton) deliver the same kind of explosive, jaw-dropping choreography that made them famous in the mid-2000s with a bevy of Top 20 hits like "Don't Cha," "Beep," "Buttons" and "When I Grow Up".
"Maybe I should count my blessings that you're just that type/ So call me masochistic but sometimes I want to fight/ Everytime I leave you pull me closer/ I hang up the phone, you call me back/ Why don't you mess me 'round like you're supposed to?/ You're turnin' me cruel 'cause I'm just wanting you to react," Nicole Scherzinger coos over a sparse electronic beat as her fellow Dolls — Ashley Roberts, Carmit Bachar, Kimberly Wyatt and Jessica Sutta — writhe around in matching leather-and-latex looks in front of a literal wall of fire.
As the video reaches its climax, the Dolls move from one element to another, performing a water-drenched dance break on chairs reminiscent of their debut performance of the single on The X Factor U.K. last November.
"React" marks PCD's first new music since their 2008 sophomore album, Doll Domination, which peaked at No. 4 on the Billboard 200 upon its release — just one spot higher than the Dolls' 2005 debut, PCD. This spring, the pop group will be embarking on a U.K. comeback tour, and recently collaborated with Meghan Trainor on album cut "Genetics" off her long-awaited third album Treat Myself.
