[edit] Song information

The song is also about band member Gwen Stefani's relationship with Gavin Rossdale, but unlike many of the band's other songs like "Ex-Girlfriend", it has a positive message as she hopes for a good future with him. Stefani and Tony Kanal composed the song in Kanal's living room using a Yamaha keyboard.[2]

[edit] Music video

The music video features the four main members of No Doubt on a beach in between a compilation of old and new photos and home movies. It also features clips from No Doubt's Rock Steady Live Tour.
