[PAR] [TLE] Nicole Scherzinger [SEP] Nicole Scherzinger ( ; born Nicole Prescovia Elikolani Valiente; June 29, 1978) is an American recording artist, actress and television personality born in Honolulu, Hawaii and raised in Louisville, Kentucky.  She performed initially in high school plays, and studied at Wright State University before dropping out to pursue a musical career alongside the American rock band Days of the New and later auditioned for "Popstars", becoming a member of the short-lived girl group Eden's Crush.  She rose to fame as the lead singer of the burlesque troupe-turned-recording act the Pussycat Dolls, who became one of the world's best-selling girl groups.  During their hiatus, Scherzinger planned to embark on her solo career with "Her Name is Nicole", but it was later shelved after four singles failed to impact the charts significantly. [PAR] [TLE] When I Grow Up (The Pussycat Dolls song) [SEP] "When I Grow Up" is a song by American girl group The Pussycat Dolls from their second and final studio album "Doll Domination" (2008).  It was released by Interscope Records on June 3, 2008, as the lead single from the album.  "When I Grow Up" was their first single following the departure of the group's longest-standing member Carmit Bachar.  It was first recorded for Nicole Scherzinger's planned solo project, "Her Name Is Nicole", but after its cancellation and Scherzinger's return to the group, she felt that the song was better suited for the group.  It was written by Theron Thomas, Timothy Thomas and Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, who also produced the song.  It is an uptempo electropop song.  It samples the 1966 song, "He's Always There" by British rock band The Yardbirds.  "When I Grow Up" speaks about the desire to be famous, and was described as being "autobiographical" by Scherzinger.
