Song information
"
Whatcha Think About That"
was meant to be the second single in Australia, but it was
cancelled as "I Hate This Part" started getting high radio play. It
was the most added song to Australian radio on its first week of
major release.
The single was intended to be the second UK single, not "Whatcha
Think About That", which has been released third.

performed the song live for the first time for a "Wal-Mart
Soundcheck"
on the Wal-Mart
website. They performed the song for the first time on
television on
October 15 on the
Australian morning
show titled
Sunrise. They
performed the song again for
The Ellen DeGeneres Show on
November 3. This performance originally
did not air on television but instead appeared on the show's
website as an online-exclusive, until
December 19 when the performance was aired on
television.

Music video
According to their YouTube page, a music video was shot on
September 28, 2008, also the day of
Melody Thornton's birthday. The video is
located in the desert. Two sneak peaks of the video were leaked
onto the internet in early October, and it shows
Nicole Scherzinger singing in a road on
desert and the
Pussycat Dolls dancing
in the rain. Part of the video was filmed at White Sands National
Momument in Alamogordo, NM, the same area were the movie
Transformers and
Transformers 2 was filmed.
The full video premiered on October 10, 2008, with it officially
premiering in the United States on
TRL
on October 15, 2008. The video was added to the iTunes Store on
October 17, 2008.
The video starts out with
Nicole
Scherzinger playing the piano to the beat of the song, and
images of a book and flowers blowing in the wind. When the
acoustics begins, there is a shot of all the girls on the road with
a broken-down car. During the chorus, the girls are seen walking
away from the car on the road and dancing to the beat of the
background. While Scherzinger is singing in the
desert alone,
Jessica
Sutta is shown trying to wave down a passing car with her
bandanna. All the girls are then shown on top of many broken-down
cars during the bridge of the song. During the second chorus, the
girls are seen in sync this time with dance moves on the sand. All
the girls are then shown in different elements in the desert:
Scherzinger in front of the broken-down car with a wolf, Sutta in a
parking lot on top of an arcade machine,
Ashley Roberts walking in a parking lot with
a pink stuffed elephant-doll, Melody Thornton with a flower, and
Kimberly Wyatt in a broken-down
pick-up truck. During the climax of the scene, Scherzinger is
singing during an incoming storm at night. The girls are then shown
in the same scene as before while dancing in sync, but this time,
it is raining and the girls are dancing while wet. The music videos
ends with an eruption of emotions from all the girls, climaxing
with a clip of Ashley Roberts comforting Melody Thornton who is in
sadness. The video closes with Nicole Scherzinger still playing
with the beat of the background on the piano and a butterfly on her
hand, before ending with a shot of the rain-soaked girls united in
an embrace.
