Gwen Stefani Released a Romantic New Song "True Babe" — and It'll Make You Blush
Summer 2023 is about to be elevated with Stefani's new single, "True Babe."
Calling all fans of The Voice, this is not a drill: Gwen Stefani is releasing a new single.
After a two-year hiatus from releasing solo bops, Stefani dropped "True Babe" just in time for it to become the song of the summer. The track is a romantic ode to a true love, with blush-inducing lyrics like "And we're from two different worlds / But you still call me your pretty girl" and "I wanna fly to your shows / Wanna wake up in your clothes." We can't help but guess that the swoon-worthy words may be aimed at her hubby and former Voice Coach Blake Shelton.
Stefani will jump into The Voice Coaches chair in Season 24, and many are excited to see what the Coach will bring as she continues to release fantastic music. The No Doubt legend has become a permanent fixture within the pop scene, and based on just the small teasers we already received from Stefani, we already know "True Babe" is a must-listen track.

Your tattoo still looks cute to me
Cute to me
We're old news, but you're new to me
New to me
I wanna fly to your shows
Wanna wake up in your clothes
Come get you tipsy at 6:30
Wanna take tonight slow
Yeah, it's alright in my life
'Cause it's true, babe, true, babe
I'm sleeping better next to you, babe, you, babe
You're something sweet, something true, babe, true, babe
You do it better than they do, babe, uh-huh
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la, la
We could stay home and nеver leave
Nеver leave
Take the truck up the coast with me
Coast with me
I wanna fly to your shows
Wanna wake up in your clothes
Come get you tipsy at 6:30
Wanna take tonight slow
Yeah, it's alright in my life
'Cause it's true, babe, true, babe

You're something sweet, something true, babe, true, babe
You do it better than they do, babe, uh-huh
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la, la
'Cause it's true, babe, true, babe
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la, la
And we're from two different worlds
But you still call me your pretty girl, pretty girl
Before you, it was all a blur
Come on and call me your pretty girl, pretty girl
'Cause it's true, babe, true, babe
I'm sleeping better next to you, babe, you, babe
(I'm sleeping better next to you, babe)
You're something sweet, something true, babe, true, babe
You do it better than they do, babe, uh-huh
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la, la
'Cause it's true, babe, true, babe
(You're something sweet, something true, babe, true, babe)
La, la, la, la-la, la-la, la, la, la, la
(You do it better than they do, babe, uh-huh)
