"Hush Hush" is a song by American girl group the Pussycat Dolls from their second studio album, Doll Domination (2008), included as the album's thirteenth track. The song was written by its producers Quiz & Larossi (Andreas Romdhane and Josef Larossi), Ina Wroldsen, and lead singer Nicole Scherzinger. Originally recorded as a ballad, the song was later remixed into an uptempo disco-influenced version titled "Hush Hush; Hush Hush," which features interpolations of Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" and served as the album's final single on May 12, 2009. The single's release sparked controversy after Scherzinger was initially credited as a featured artist, following a similar billing on their previous single "Jai Ho! (You Are My Destiny)"; causing tension within the group and public outburst by member Melody Thornton. While Scherzinger defended her billing, the label eventually removed her featured status prior to the single's release.

Contemporary critics found the remix dated and lacking the energetic R&B edge of their earlier hits, though some appreciated its catchy elements. Commercially, the single reached number one in the Czech Republic and Hungary, achieved top-ten positions in countries such as Finland and Australia, and charted within the top forty in Ireland, the UK, and Switzerland. In the United States, it peaked at number 73 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached number one on the Hot Dance/Club Songs chart, marking the group's sixth consecutive number-one on that chart. The music video, directed by Rich Lee, is set in a dollhouse with themed rooms, features stylistic references to 1980s disco and artists such as Donna Summer and Diana Ross.
