Imagine singing that while breaking up with your guy who is playing the bass.

Gwen wrote this after the bass player, Tony Kanal broke up with her. So she's singing a song about a breakup with her ex playing bass on the song.

Can't hit 90's without looking at Garbage. Like no Doubt and The Cranberries they were the voice of us 90's kids.

Every teenage boy in the 90s immediately fell in love with Gwen Stefani after seeing this. Bananas killed my soul, however.

No Doubt just got back together for the for the first time in 9 or 10 years at this years Coachella. You need to check out that live performance!! She is 54 and in the same shape as she was in 1996 when Don't Speak came out.

Her name is Gwen Stefani and she's married to a country singer named Blake Shelton

Its hard not to "fall in love" with her in this video. The girl has extreme talent and charisma.

I love seeing people get to watch just how epic Gwen Stefani was back in the day as well as now! She is a BADASS !!

sir, you should do the full "Just a Girl" - it's not about being a girl per se, it's about how men treat women like lesser beings. Gwen is a talented artist, and No Doubt is absolutely a ska/punk group - they're just one of those groups where they're talented AF and they can do anything they want.

Don't Speak came out in like '95 or '96. This is the probably the most radio friendly song on the album. You should definitely listen to Spiderwebs and Just A Girl. Ska had quite the moment in the mid 90's.

You should absolutely check out Just A Girl. All of those songs written about famale experience are pointless if nobody but women listen to them. Trust me, we already know. We really do love it when the men in our lives - our husbands, fathers, brothers, friends - get on board with trying to understand what's going on. The point of music is to share individual perspectives of the broader human experience ✌️

This comes from their breakout album "Tragic Kingdom," which is possibly one of my all-time favorite start-to-finish albums. They're definitely a ska/pop-punk band, but this ballad was their first mega-hit single, around 1994 or 1995, I think. Worth looking into more for sure, especially as you start to track how the sound of the band changed over the years.

In my opinion her music was better with the band than solo, but u can't deny her "icon" status in the music world

I saw No Doubt in 96 as an opening act for a bigger band, and they stole the entire show. Incredible live energy and Gwen Stefani is an amazing singer.

this is Gwen Stafani... from the voice.. married to Blake Shelton.. founder of the clothes line LAMB.. she's a beautiful beast...

Gwen Stefani is just a treasure. Sweet and funny, incredible voice and style.

My favourite postmodern jukebox production is their cover of this song. The girl that sings it is amazing.

Gwen gives 100% on stage. A true rockstar!

This song is supposed to be about her band member who she was going through a break up with too. My husband loves Hollaback Girl, the bananas song,, haha.

Gwen won a Grammy with Eve in 2001 for Best Rap/Sung Collaboration on the song “Let Me Blow Ya Mind” produced by Dr. Dre.

You should check out “Just a Girl” having a daughter, it’s about how society treats women and standing strong as a woman. It’s an anthem, really.

one of my personal performances was her and Bradley from Sublime. Just a perfect capture of the 90's.... And I'm a 70's boy...

This song, I'm Just A Girl, and Spiderwebs were my. Favorite No Doubt songs but when Gwen went solo and made a song with Eve from the Ruff Ryder's and my rap music and POP music worlds collided was when I fell completely in love with her. She's made some amazing music over the years and continues to do so! ❤❤❤

She wrote this about her ex, Tony the bassist.. they had a long term relationship, then broke up and she wrote this song, but they stayed in the band together.. she went on to marry Gavin Rosdale, who cheated on her (??!!) .. now she's married to country star Blake Shelton, who says he was so impressed with her, she wasn't like anyone else he'd met in "the industry",she drove herself to The Voice in a black minivan and is a mother first.. she seems like such a cool person. When you listen to her in interviews she just has a certain vibe that is hard to put into words. Apparently she goes to Church every Sunday... I just love her so much. I would defnitely suggest checking out "About a Girl".. she's such a ham in the video, I think you would like it. :)

This very song is why I am in love with No Doubt and Gwen Stefani, she is as unique singer as a few out there.

I’m in my late 40’s, and I did listen to bands like No Doubt in the 90’s. To this day, I still consider this song to be one of the best ever at capturing the feeling of heartbreak at the moment of a breakup. Great reaction video!

Ooooh. Listen to "Bathwater". As in "I love to wash in your old bathwater." So good. Great reaction.

Gwen Stefani is a pretty darn good song writer. They all cross a few genres. Come this winter, check the songs she put on her Christmas album. She wrote and performed some excellent original holiday songs. And most of them will get your feet moving.

What is even more amazing from Punk/Ska roots. Gwen was married to Gavin Rosdale of the rock band from the UK BUSH. She is now married to country mega star Blake Shelton. She has 2 number one country songs with Blake. Blake has 28 number one songs...plus she is on the Voice as one of judges. Amazing talent!!

You should also check out Gwen Stefani's duet with rapper Eve called "Let Me Blow Ya Mind"!

I think Gwen Stefani has that old Hollywood Jean Harlow look, and she did actually play the fictional version of Gene Harlow in the aviator

This song is beautiful. Well written, catchy, the message, the music, emotion. A perfect song all around.

Love No doubt!! They were a Ska/Punk band! This definitely takes me back to my early teenage years! If u check out more, listen to Spiderwebs! It's a little more upbeat!

You can not have any idea about how popular this song was, it play day and night EVERYWHERE,the group have to request MTV to stop playing it so much after one year....

No Doubt's musical style has been characterized as ska punk, ska, pop rock, new wave, alternative rock, pop-punk, reggae, reggae fusion, and punk rock

She brought a voice to a lot of us girls in the 90s. She had a toughness and but also could be "prettygirl", which told us we could be more than one thing. She was very important to a lot of us. A great song to check out is Underneath It All, which features a Jamaican (i think) artist named Lady Saw who should have gotten a lot more are play after she collaborated with them. You have to get the long version though to hear that part, because they cut it out a lot on the radio versions, just like they used to cut out Left Eye's raps from TLC songs on the radio (which is a tragedy).

I was so in love with her when I was young! She sings like an angel! 😂

As a 90’s kid, No Doubt was one of the biggest acts in the world. This was them at their peak, but they wrote lots of great music. Gwen is a powerhouse female doing it the way it should be done.

I met No Doubt in 97 when she looked like this!!! So beautiful it was distracting!!! It was at an awards after party with them, Bush, and Marylin Manson….(it was an Interscope party and that’s the label we were on) Tony the bassist even came to my bands LA performance a few months later….all nice ppl except Gavin from Bush. Great reaction BP!

Tragic Kingdom is such a good record from front to back. Tragic Kingdom was released in 1995, album is certified Diamond with 16mil sold worldwide. Number 1 album on Billboard 200. Hit songs were "Just a Girl", "Spiderwebs", "Don't Speak"- Except for "Just a Girl", which peaked at 23 on Billboard 200, none charted due to no commercial single release for "Don't Speak" and "Spiderwebs". Don't Speak was #1 on Billboards Hot 100 Airplay charts for 16 straight weeks. Minor hits with "Excuse Me Mr." and "Sunday Morning". "Don't Speak" written by Gwen and her brother Eric(who left the band once this album was finished) is about Gwen's break-up with bass player Tony Kanal (guy with the buzz cut at the beginning of the mv picking the orange)...So No Doubt is kind of like a Fleetwood Mac of the 90s; except not every song written was about bad member relationships with each other. I would give a listen to this album in it's entirety. "Just a Girl" and "Spiderwebs" of the major hits fit more in the Ska mold.

The song which made them famous. She wrote it when her boyfriend Tony Kanal (the black guitarist standing next to her in the video) broke up with her, breaking her heart. The break-up song about him is what gave him his career.

Yep. Imagine being that strong and beautiful as a woman. Taking the spotlight and running with it. You’re right. She is stunning. Superstar. Great reaction 👊🏼

Reminds me of someone I didn’t treat well who loved me so much and he finally said enough. This song came on in the car and I sobbed and sobbed. He never gave in and I married someone else (which didn’t work). It’s been 27 years and I still love and miss him, but it’s too late. Every time I hear this it all comes flooding back. I love you P. Always. Such a great song.

No Doubt was Ska. Gwen Stefani has gone on to have a big solo career since the release of Don't Speak which I believe came out around 97. You might have heard Hollaback Girl from her.

Ska is an excellent genre of music. The Mighty Mighty Boss Tones was around the same time period as No Doubt. New Ska band The Defiant just released an album (lead singer formerly with The Mighty Mighty Boss Tones, drummer formerly with The Offspring, guitarist formerly with Smashmouth etc...).

Spiderwebs will always be my favourite. Many other great songs, but that one just gets me going every time I hear it.

Love that you're reacting to this man. Love No Doubt and this song especially. I actually sampled it for a song from my last album so it holds a special place in my heart. Keep up the great work brother!

The video touches on the media's obsession with Gwen. Often ignoring the rest of the band and wanting photoshoots of her alone.

Spiderwebs was their big breakout hit. Their first album was a lot more SKA than Tragic Kingdom (second album) was.

Speaking of Snoop Dog, he’s going to be a coach on the next season of “The Voice” and so is Gwen! What are the odds haha! At age 54, she’s still in amazing shape and can dance hard during her performances!

She is the Hollaback Girl and she has tons of good music Gwen Stefani

This band is one of my faves! So good. Saw them 5 times

"Spiderwebs: is my favorite of their songs.

That crazy was listening to this on the way home and wondered when BP will get round to this, great album!

I just saw their reunion at Coachella in April! I put some of their performances on my channel! I went there to see them and get their limited edition merch…so amazing!!!

I can hear BP after he hears the background of the song. “Damn Tony had to play his breakup song every night with her singing it”

These guys just rocked Coachella a couple of weeks ago. Gwen Stefani is still amazing in her 50's.

Definitely a Spanish vibe, with that classical guitar solo, etc.

Still loving No Doubt all these years later ❤

I see it was already mentioned here but, Gwen was singing about one of her bandmates. Reminiscent of the great Stevie Nicks who also wrote a song about her breakup, (and also had the band mate play the song for years in the band!) Maybe give that one a listen...Stevie Nicks. Edit: Ohmagah!! I never noticed but she made him pick the rotten fruit for the video!!! She sings to him the most as well, Hush hush dahling right in his face at the end. Brilliant!

Gwen Stephanie was someone that I heard for the first time, I liked her music, along with Kirk Cobain. Beautiful voices.

Being as old as I am remembering when this came out without Internet you could tell who this song was about by the music video. How crazy to play a song about 2 people in the band.

I love No Doubt! I believe they’re coming out with a new album. Can’t wait for that! I saw them in HI when I was in high school, I never had so much fun during that time in my life. Which was a pretty dark time for me. I was not in a good place and No Doubt helped me out somehow, Gwen Stefani I think is amazing! She’s amazing!! I had Tragic Kingdom on repeat when I was in high school.

Lmao Gwen does have male groupies. Especially for those who were in our adolescence in the 90s. She has a really big fan base and still perform today. Her music is a mix of reggae, punk, ska. Orange County/Los Angeles vibes.

Gwen is married to Blake Shelton a country singer, they did the "Voice" show together and fell in love.

Much respect for taking back the "this b can sing" not just once, but twice.

BP, you really need to do "Just A Girl" it KICKS

Lead singer is Gwen Stefani. Check her rapping solo "Holler back" or her duets with rapper Eve, major hits back in the day.

No Doubt JUST played Cochella a couple of weeks ago and they were phenomenal!

If anything Gwen Stefani is underrated. An incredible singer.

Need to check out "Bathwater" and "Hella Good". This is an excellent song and showcases Gwen's voice. Love this band. Gwen wrote this song about her relationship with bassist, Tony Kanal. The two were together for a long time and Tony wanted to end it after 7 years. This song came from that breakup, as did a number of songs off of the album TRAGIC KINGDOM. The video is cool because it shows how the lead singer in the band always gets the attention and how the band gets pushed aside even while they play an important part.

They were together for awhile.... SUPPOSEDLY this is the song where A CERTAIN MUSIC LABLE CAME TO HER WITH AN OFFER FOR JUST HER NOT HER BAND..... AND THIS IS LIKE THE GOODBYE SONG TO HER BAND BEFORE SHE GOES.... IM PRETTY SURE.... I REMEMBER THIS DRAMA WHEN IT HAPPENED

Great reaction! I would definitely recommend reacting to more No doubt! Especially from this album, it's so good😊

Most of their songs are upbeat but they do have some ballads. - UNDERNEATH IT ALL is Super Sweet Raggae Tune.

wow. for some reason ur reaction made me go watch the '90s biggest hit in europe..i think i m getting old because i miss this sound

another couple of great songs of that era: "Criminal" by Fiona Apple, and "Fade Into You" by Mazzy Star. Absolutely beautiful performances by two other great female voices.

RESPECT , TOTALLY respect that you want to do straight by your kids ,

This was about her and the guitar players break up, back in the day , watch their Coachella reunion after 9 yr break up of No Doubt, Amazing ! She is 54 and killed it

I'm Just A Girl" is full of great lyrics about being TREATED lilke a girl. And this song is about her break up with the guitarist.

“Underneath it all”… fabulous track.

I know you have been told this, but it is Gwen Stefani. Early 90s No Doubt was charting for sure!! Nice reaction!! 💜

This was essentially the bands break up song. And then Gwen released all her solo stuff. Such a good song.

She could be America's sweetheart. She is a class act, talented and beautiful.

Seen them in concert! EPIC!

Spiderwebs and just a girl are awesome songs! Just a girl is WAY more than a chick song, though it is definitely an anthem for a lot of 90's girls. It's worth a listen because it definitely has deep lyrics! Loved this reaction! No doubt was one of my favs as a teenager.

Gwen definitely has a huge Reggae influence... she even named her son Kingston. She did a great job of melding that influence with other things, Rather than playing straight reggae. I think even this song has reggae stylistic influence, but melodically it does sound Spanish. 👍🔥😎

another stunning female talent - Gwen & No Doubt (and Soundgarden, Natalie Imbruglia, Pearl Jam and the Gypsy Kings - and of course, Bittersweet Symphony) is the music of the most freedom I had in my life...

Yes! YES! YES! I seen them in concert took my daughter in 2010! Heard them for the first time in 95! They are that Epic then, then & NOW! She might sing a few Country songs but shes schooled in R&B!

They are Ska yes. This is one of their ballads. I wore out this whole album back in the day playing it so much 🥰 You'd probably enjoy the rhythms in most, if not all of the songs on this album

Qwen and Stevie nicks- badass great singers- both singing a breakup song live nightly to their ex who is in the band! Got to love it!

Dang how did I miss this one! This is classic lol take me back to middle school and the skating rink haha

Loved this CD

I really liked No Doubt when they first got big, but my favorite song that features Gwen Stefani is the cover of the song “You’re the Boss” on The Brian Setzer Orchestra’s album “The Dirty Boogie”. Brian Setzer got famous as the lead singer and guitar player for the rockabilly trio, Stray Cats around 1980. He basically fell off until a big band swing group formed in his neighborhood and teased him about jamming. He took them up on it and they worked up a set of old songs which the covered as a full band with Brian ripping it up on guitar and vocals. They played their first show to a basically empty venue, but word spread and they had lines around the block within a few shows. I would say “You’re the Boss” is worth checking out even though it’s not really well known, but if you want to check out something from The Brian Setzer orchestra I would recommend “Switchblade 327”, “Rock This Town”, or “This Cat’s on a Hot Tin Roof” which is, in my opinion, one of the best album openers of all time.

I saw No Doubt live in 1997. Gwen is an amazing 'front man'. She owned the audience. She had just the males singing "I'm just a girl", and we were happy to do it!

She was a badass chick from the OC and brought with her a multicultural aesthetic and new fashion styles that really clicked with girls and women (I was mom in my 30s in the 90s). She was a different type of role model for our girls. Strong with a soft center.

The thing with No Doubt was girls loved em because Gwen gave voice to our experiences and guys tuned in for her looks and the music and started asking the women in their lives if the songs had any truth. That's the kind of impact they had. It got conversations started.

Gwen Stephani went solo after the band broke up and had a lot of success. They are not together as a group anymore b/c she is married to Blake Shelton now and performing with him on Country Music award shows! LOL! The guy in the band, Tony, and she had a bad break up while the band was still together and that's him under the tree in the beginning and at the end. I love their sound... listen to these No Doubt hits: "Just a Girl", "It's My Life" (remake), "Bathwater", "Sunday Morning", and more!

You cant talk about Ska without talking about Caribbean music. Calypso and Mento are the roots and Reggae is Ska's 1st cousin. That's why you are hearing a Spanish influence. A steel pan drum could fit nicely into this song.

the Acoustic version of this song is incredible.

Always loved this song.
