Pussycat Dolls - buttons single cover | |||||||||||||||
"Buttons" is a song written by Sean Garrett, Jamal Jones, Jason Perry, and Nicole Scherzinger for the Pussycat Dolls' debut album PCD (2005). Released as the album's fourth single, the song became their fourth top-three single on the UK Singles Chart and their second top-three single on the Billboard Hot 100.
The Pussycat Dolls collaborated with Snoop Dogg on this release. The song was altered slightly from the album version, adding in two rap verses. For the final release of the single, the version featuring Snoop Dogg is described as the main mix. Like "Don't Cha" and "Beep", the song has a strong sexual undertone; the protagonist, who is described as a sexually attractive individual, teases her intended male subject to help her take her clothes off (hence the main chorus line "I'm telling you to loosen up my buttons"). However, she accuses the male subject of being intimidated as he "fronts" to do so, leading her to believe he's "all talk and no show" claiming that she's "heard what he's sayin' what he was going to do to her, but she's seen nothing". However, where most listeners would assume that the protagonist has finally become disinterested, the song ends with the impression that she's still teasing the man to unbutton her clothes. The lyrics were slightly altered after the final release in the rap verse performed by Snoop Dogg. The lyric "Yeah, I thought I saw a puddycat" (catchphrase of the Looney Tunes character Tweety) was changed to "Yeah, I thought I saw a pussycat". (A similar lyric was also used in the Ying Yang Twins' song "Badd" and the Akon song, "Smack That".) The B-side is "Flirt" written by Nicole Scherzinger, Kara DioGuardi, and Greg Wells. | |||||||||||||||
