Don't Speak is not about Gwen Stefani's break up with No Doubt's bassist, Tony Kanal, as many other tracks on the album are. The song is about Gwen and her brother Eric growing apart from each other (as Eric had left the band shortly before the album's release). The song was even written by both Stefani siblings.

[edit] Canadian chart positions

I'm getting rather annoyed with the Canadian chart position on most of the singles articles of which I've placed the peaks on getting removed or swapped around. Where does it state that its position must be lower than the United States or the United Kingdom? And the same with Switzerland, its position was completely removed from the "Don't Speak" single information box.

I would like an explanation for this nonsense. DrippingInk 01:25, September 8, 2005 (UTC)

The #1 music market in the world is considered the USA. Next is the UK followed by Australia. After that, it doesn't matter. Why do you keep placing Canada so high? No offense or anything, but Canada does not come ahead of the UK or Australa in importance (in dealing with music markets). It's ok to list Japanese and Candian positions, but if we list Switzerland, we might as well list every country in the world OmegaWikipedia 01:45, 8 September 2005 (UTC)
...Excuse me? If a chart position is known of a certain song, then of course it should be posted! Who do you think you are saying that? And you know, I never have heard such a story like that – yes, the USA position I can believe, but not once have I heard that the U.K. or Australia come before Canada. I can place it that high if I want – it's like Canadians don't have a say in anything. How dare you say that! DrippingInk 20:02, September 8, 2005 (UTC)
What? Well, ok, look at the page for What You Waiting For?. There are at least 10 countries listed. We're not going to list them all. What do you mean you have never heard of that? The UK chart has always been 2nd most important, and ARIA third. Its true, whether you want to believe it or not, but how about this....Canada doesnt even have a chart anymore. Once again, Im guessing youre Canadian, and no offense, this is nothing personal, but the Canadian chart is just not as important as the other 3. It's 4th place, but its not 2nd place.

I don't care if it's not as important! This does not mean it cannot go at the top of the list! 64.231.160.101 23:31, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

who cares how high the charts are placed...it still gets read

I changed it before reading this, but think that "despite contrary belief..." is what was intended. Britmax 19:28, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
