She's had to shrug off rumours of a split with her boyfriend Lewis Hamilton recently as well as juggling a hectic work schedule.
But Nicole Scherzinger couldn't look any more relaxed in these photos, taken on the set of her new video for single Try With Me.
In one of the shots the Pussycat Doll stares longingly into the distance, possibly picturing the love of her life - her Formula 1 beau, Lewis.

In great Nic: The singer looks up into the heavens in another shot from the video
She leans against a rocky wall wearing a cream dress, her legs on show as the dress flops around her.
In another she sits on a concrete ledge, staring up into the skies and smiling with a headband made from leaves wrapped around her head.
The video was shot in the rainforest around remote Mexican village Xilitla.
The 33-year-old only had 18 hours to do the shoot between judging duties on the U.S. X Factor as Simon Cowell keeps his employees on a strict schedule.

In fact, Nicole had to film her last video in a car park near the show's LA studios to fit it into her schedule.
Xilitla is a beautiful area of Mexico which plays host to a series of surrealist sculptures by Edward James, the eccentric English poet and artist, and patron of the Surrealist movement.
Nicole has been noticeably absent from his side at the Korean and Japanese events in recent weeks, again likely to be the result of her busy work schedule.

But that hasn't stopped the rumour mill from churning allegations of a split between the singer and her partner Lewis Hamilton.
She is required in Los Angeles where live shows on the X Factor are about to kick off, but found time to jet to New York last week to appear on Good Morning America.
'Of late, their schedules have proven pretty unworkable and they have not been able to see as much of one another as they would have liked,' a source claimed the Mirror.
'They still speak on the phone but this isn’t the same as face to face contact and things have been rough for the past six weeks.
'Both want it to work but it’s fair to say things are rocky. But they have rowed before and worked things out. As far as both are concerned, there is still hope.'
