Four years since her last non-holiday/country single, Gwen Stefani has decided to return to the music scene with a new solo single called “Let me reintroduce myself”.
Produced by Luke Niccoli (Keith Urban, Miya Folick, Gryffin), the ska and reggae-tinged song is the first single from Stefani’s yet-unnamed fifth studio album.
About the new track, the “Used to love you” hitmaker said: “This song is a way of saying I’m back with new music. It’s a fun, lighthearted song, because I got inspired and hopefully to bring a little bit of joy. The idea was to write a song that had a bit of a nostalgic feeling to it, so I think musically it reminds you of back in the day, going back to where I started musically which was with ska and reggae. I’m still the same me but here’s something a little bit new in case you feel like hearing a little bit more of me”.
This is a particularly happy moment for Gwen. The 51 year-old star and Blake Shelton got engaged in October and they are ready to get married as soon as possible.
Lyrics:
The simple recipe to get the best of me
Homegrown ingredients, that’s what made you mess with me
In the first place (Place), ’cause you know I’m like organic
And it tastes great (Great), I already gave you bananas (Woo)
Go ahead and help yourself, me again in your ear
Binge on my music for days ’cause I’ve been here for years
Not a comeback (Oh), I’m recycling me
It’s not a comeback (Oh), you feel that new energy
Na-na, na-na-na
Got a smile on my face, go ahead and pass it on
Na-na, na-na-na
It’s free with a coupon, coupon
Let me re-, let me reintroduce myself
Case you forgot, no, I’m not records on your shelf
I’m still the original-riginal old me, yeah
Original-riginal old me
So let me re-, let me reintroduce myself, yeah
Yeah
Original-riginal-riginal
Yeah
Ooh, twenty-twenty-twenty-twenty-twenty vision
That’s a hundred, but I’m not that good at long division
Get focused, put your glasses on (Glasses on)
See in color like new crayons
I feel good, I feel great, I feel alright, alright, oh
Na-na, na-na-na
Got a smile on my face, go ahead and pass it on
Na-na, na-na-na
It’s free with a coupon, coupon
Let me re-, let me reintroduce myself
Case you forgot, no, I’m not records on your shelf
I’m still the original-riginal old me, yeah
Original-riginal old me
So let me re-, let me reintroduce myself, yeah
I’m still the original me, yeah
I’m still-I’m still
I’m still the original me, yeah
I’m still-I’m still
The simple recipe to get the best of me
Homegrown ingredients, that’s what made you mess with me
Let me re-, let me reintroduce myself
Case you forgot, no, I’m not records on your shelf
I’m still the original-riginal old me, yeah
Original-riginal old me
So let me re-, let me reintroduce myself, yeah
I’m still the original me, yeah (Hey)
I’m still-I’m still
So let me re-, let me reintroduce myself, yeah
