New Song: Gwen Stefani – ‘True Babe’

Nearly two years have separated fans of Gwen Stefani from traditional new music, but the Queen of Ska Pop gave her fans a royal surprise Friday (June 23) when she lifted the lid on the new song ‘True Babe.’

Her first single since 2021’s Saweetie-assisted ‘Slow Clap,’ ‘True’ stays sonically true to Gwen’s signature formula of anthemic flavor while being decorated with romantic lyrics in dedication to Country superstar husband Blake Shelton.

“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,” she sings on the track produced by KThrash and Swedish duo Jack & Coke.

Hear it inside.

Those hoping the release of ‘True Babe’ will signal the release of Stefani’s next studio album, the follow-up to 2016’s chart-topping ‘This is What Truth Feels Like,‘ may have to wait a while longer for official news as she recently announced she will be returning to NBC’s ‘The Voice’ to be a coach alongside Reba McEntire, John Legend, and Niall Horan.
