'I Don't Need A Man' was the 5th single to be taken from the Pussycat Dolls debut album, PCD. The video was shot in the USA in July 2006 and was directed by Chris Applebaum (Britney Spears, Nick Carter, Mandy Moore, Aly & AJ)
On 29th July 2006, CDUSA had a 'behind the scenes' on which Nicole said that the video would be shown on the same program in the future. Ashley previously blogged that the single was set to be a European release, but as CDUSA isn't shown outside the US (CD:UK was taken off air in early 2006).
The song is co-written by lead singer Nicole Scherzinger, producer Rich Harrison and Kara DioGuardi. Scherzinger's previous group, Eden's Crush, had recorded one song by DioGuardi. Scherzinger and DioGuardi also co-wrote the PCD bonus track "Flirt". "I Don't Need A Man" is produced by Rich Harrison and co-produced by Ron Fair. The official instrumental version of this song, that is featured on the CD single, contains some other samples than the album version. "I Don't Need a Man" reached the top ten in several countries and has also made the top five in some countries. The single has reached number six in Australia and number seven in the UK, breaking the group's string of top three hits in those countries.
"I Don't Need A Man" has also performed slightly weaker in Germany where it has reached number twenty.
