Cool is a pop song written by Gwen Stefani and Dallas Austin for Stefani's debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby (2004). The song's musical-style and production was heavily inspired by pop music from the 1980s, and its lyrics chronicle a relationship in which two lovers have separated, but remain "cool" with each other as good friends. Cool received praise from pop music critics, and the media have drawn parallels between the song's lyrical content and the romantic relationship that Stefani had with Tony Kanal, a fellow group member of No Doubt.

Background and writing

The lyrics of "Cool" reflect Stefani's former relationship with No Doubt bassist Tony Kanal. Although their romantic relationship ended, Stefani's lyrics portray her attitude that it is "cool" that they still remain very good friends. Stefani and Kanal's relationship had provided the inspiration for No Doubt's "Don't Speak" (1996),[1] and while "Cool" presents an amicable friendship between former lovers,[2] "Don't Speak" is about a failing relationship and never arrives at a solution for the couple.[1] Stefani and Kanal supply the basis for the characters. Dont Speak is the third single from Tragic Kingdom, the third album by Californian ska/rock group No Doubt, released in late 1996. ...


Dallas Austin wrote "Cool" after listening to No Doubt's "Underneath It All" (2002).[3] He was unable to finish the song and asked Stefani if she had wanted to co-write lyrics.[3] During a studio session together, they finished "Cool" in fifteen minutes.[2] "When he told me about the track and where it came from for him, it just triggered something in me," Stefani said.[2] Underneath It All is the third single from the multi-platinum No Doubt album, Rock Steady. ...


Because Austin had wanted to write a song about the aftermath of his failed relationship, the lyrics recall a romantic affiliation that once existed, from the point of view of one who has moved on from their former lover; Stefani indicates that she is in a new relationship. They suggest a progression through a turbulent time to a mutual understanding that takes their relationship to a level of respect. Look up understanding in Wiktionary, the free dictionary. ...

"And I'll be happy for you
If you can be happy for me
Circles and triangles, and now we're
Hangin' out with your new girlfriend"
"So far from where we've been
I know we're cool"

Stefani sums up the evolution of their relationship with the line "after all that we've been through, I know we're cool". The former couple are now "hanging out" with Kanal's new girlfriend, while Stefani has married and is pleased that he calls her by her "new last name".


Stefani said that she had never intended to include "personal"[2] material on Love. Angel. Music. Baby. and commented, "but no matter what you do, things just come out. It just ended this whole thing for me in my head, and it puts an end to a chapter in a really nice way."[2]


"Cool" was featured in the comedy-drama film Click (2006). Click is a comedy/drama/fantasy film directed by Frank Coraci. ...


Music and structure

A portion of the song's guitar (top) and keyboard notes (bottom).

"Cool" is a mid-tempo love song featuring new wave production and is composed in the key of D major and in 4/4 time.[4] The song follows the common verse-chorus form[5] and features five instruments: bass guitar, drums, guitar, keyboard, and synthesizer.[5] Stefani begins to sing the first verse in an impassive state[4] as the synthesizer is lowered and the drum beat increases in volume. Stefani stresses several lyrics[4] by rising to her highest pitch (C#5)[4] and quickly descending. She performs her lowest pitch (E3)[4] at the beginning of each verse and sings in a softer, almost sotto voice toward the end of every chorus.[4] Image File history File links Sheet_music_for_Gwen_Stefani's_Cool. ...

Critical reception

"Cool" was generally very well-received by contemporary pop music critics. LAUNCHcast's Jennifer Nine referred to the song as "a liltingly sweet paean to post-break-up friendships",[6] while All Music Guide wrote that the "high school anthem-in-waiting" exuded "sleek, new wave textures".[7] Richard Smirke of PlayLouder commented that the song successfully used the same production formula as fellow album tracks "Serious" and "What You Waiting For?", and described it as a "crisp blend of edgy 21C production and early 80s Madonna-esque pop".[8] A 1999 issue (#35) of the LAUNCH disk magazine, a precursor of LAUNCHcast. ...

Jason Damas, in a review for PopMatters, characterized the song as "a slippery slice of keyboard driven new wave pop that easily could've slotted into any No Doubt album ... pitched halfway between The Go-Go's and Cyndi Lauper", and added, "the lyrics immediately ensure it will be sung along to by lonely 16-year-olds".[9] While Blender magazine ranked "Cool" at number forty-five on its list of "The 100 Greatest Songs of 2005",[10] the song attracted some negative feedback too: Bill Lamb of About.com proclaimed it "Gwen's lost Cyndi Lauper tune", but felt that it "doesn't immediately grab attention like her other singles".[11] PopMatters is an international magazine of cultural criticism. ...

The song's music video was directed by Sophie Muller and filmed in Lake Como, Italy.

Gonzalez and his new girlfriend (played by Tony Kanal's girlfriend, Erin Lokitz) are shown walking to a house. Stefani answers the door, and the three of them are seen in each other's company, with intercut scenes of Stefani rolling around on a bed. There are brief flashbacks to the time when Stefani and her former boyfriend were dating, where she wears a brunette wig, which represents her younger self (her natural brown hair has not been seen since she was in grade school).[12] Although the lyrical theme of "Cool" is maintained within the video, there are frames incorporated to portray Stefani feeling "uncool".
