Gwen Stefani is working on a follow up album containing leftover songs from her first solo album (Love Angel Music Baby) and some new songs. "Candyland" is expected to be released towards the end of the year along with a DVD of Stefani's first solo tour. "Candyland" is expected to include the songs "Wind it Up" and "Orange County Girl," which Gwen first exhibited during her 2005 Harajuku Lovers tour.

The song is written about a boy that she dated in high school that recently died. The guitar work on this song is done by Martin Gore of Depeche Mode. "You Started It": written with Pharrell Williams. The concept of the song is to sound like an early No Doubt. "Fine by You": written with Linda Perry. The song is about not being inspired. It was one of the first songs written for the album. "Wind It Up": Gwen premiered this song on her Harajuku Lovers Tour. "Orange County Girl": Gwen also premiered this song on her tour.
