Her Name Is Nicole was to serve as the debut studio album by American recording artist Nicole Scherzinger.

Scherzinger worked with a range of producers, including Gary Lightbody, Polow da Don, will.i.am, Timbaland, The-Dream, Akon, The Neptunes and Ne-Yo, among others.

In September 2007, a second single, "Baby Love", was released. The song was dubbed the "official single" from the album, and reached some international success, but failed to make an impact in the US. Following two unsuccessful singles in the US, the album's original October 6, 2007 release date was pushed back a month, before being pushed back again into 2008. During that time, two additional singles were released, "Supervillian" and "Puakenikini". Both songs failed to make an impact as well.
Scherzinger continued to record material for the album in 2008. The album was then further pushed back into 2009, when Scherzinger returned to the Pussycat Dolls, and they released their second studio album Doll Domination. Several songs from the recording sessions of Her Name Is Nicole appeared on the album, two of which included "Who's Gonna Love You" and "Happily Never After", that appeared on the original track listing of the album. In 2009, Scherzinger was to return to the studio to finish the album, but she later announced that the album had been canceled at her own request.
