Notes
1: Track 7, "Hot Stuff (I Want You Back)", is a mash-up of two songs: the verses are from Siobhan Fahey's 2002 song "Bitter Pill" (with altered lyrics); the chorus is from Donna Summer's "Hot Stuff"
Lead vocalist Nicole Scherzinger co-wrote three tracks including the bonus track "Flirt".
The bonus track "We Went as Far as We Felt Like Going" is a version of a Bob Crewe/Kenny Nolan song. It was first recorded by Tim Curry (1973, released 1990), then a 1975 single by Labelle. The Dolls' version first appeared on the 2004 soundtrack to Shark Tale. Crewe and Nolan also wrote Labelle's previous hit "Lady Marmalade".
Track 5, the 'album version' of "Buttons", does not feature Snoop Dogg; the 'single version' does.
