Don’t Speak (No Doubt) – 1995

The No Doubt band’s song “Don’t Speak” was a love song originally written by Gwen Stefani and her brother Eric Stefani. But after a few modifications by Gwen, it became a breakup song. At the time, she was just fresh out of a seven-year relationship with fellow band member Tony Kanal.

According to sources, it was Kanal who dumped Gwen and she was going through a difficult heartbreak. This Emotion served as fuel for her lyrics in the song and it was a spot-on portrayal of what her emotional inclination was at the time. As a sound straight from the heart, “Don’t Speak” remains a captivating song.
