[edit] History
In January 2008, Danity Kane posted a bulletin on their official MySpace page expressing that they were giving their fans a chance to vote for one of two new songs that they thought were appropriate to become the lead single. "Damaged" and "Pretty Boy" were the two choices for online voters to choose from. "Damaged" overshadowed the competition, consequently becoming Danity Kane's first single off the group's sophomore album. On January 28, 2008, group members Aubrey O'Day and Dawn Angelique Richard posted bulletins on their respective MySpace sites stating that "Damaged" was indeed the first single from their most recent album. Danity Kane performed "Damaged" for the very first time at "Spotlight on Bad Boy R&B Night".[1] The production of the song is featured on the seventh episode of MTV's Making the Band 4, Season 2. Damaged is also the first single to feature all members singing lead, also it is the first single that Shannon has lead vocal, although Shannon had a proeminent role on Show Stopper on the hook, it is not shown in its music video or in any live performance of the song.

The video features the members of Danity Kane in a futuristic theme. The pink special effects are used to represent the setting of being within an actual heart. Throughout the video, choreography is done along with the music and the girls are shown in a futuristic room with screens of them performing the choreography, which they see while laying down on a futuristic bed. Towards the end of the music video, the bed that the girls is laying on closes to form a heart, which happens to be the heart of a man on a stretcher in a hospital.
