Hey Baby (No Doubt song)
"Hey Baby" is a song written by Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and Bounty Killer for American rock band No Doubt's fifth studio album, ''Rock Steady'' (2001). The song is heavily influenced by the Jamaican dancehall music present at No Doubt's post-show parties and tour bus lounges of their ''Return of Saturn'' tour.〔 Its lyrics describe the debauchery with groupies at these parties.
The song received positive reviews from music critics, although its dancehall influences had a mixed reception. It was released as the album's lead single in October 2001. The single was commercially successful and peaked at number five on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100. At the 45th Grammy Awards, it won the Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
== Background and writing ==
"Hey Baby" was one of the first songs written for ''Rock Steady''.〔"No Doubt". ''Front Row Center''. Fox Family. February 18, 2002.〕 The song begins with instrumentals programmed with producer Philip Steir at Toast Studios in San Francisco, California.〔Montoya, Paris and Lanham, Tom. "Hey Baby featuring Bounty Killer". ''The Singles 1992-2003'' (liner notes). Interscope Records. November 25, 2003.〕 They experimented with ray gun-like electronic effects and sounds that guitarist Tom Dumont compared to ''Star Wars'' music.〔"No Doubt". ''Mean Street''. Volume 12, issue 6. December 2001.〕 Notably, the intro is reminiscent of the beginning of the song ''Jungle Love'' by the Steve Miller Band. The lyrics and melodies were recorded at a session at Dumont's home studio in Los Angeles weeks later. While the band was working on the album in Kingston, Jamaica during March 2001, producers Sly & Robbie left the percussion and Gwen Stefani's original vocal.〔 The band asked about adding a guest appearance on the song, so Sly & Robbie recommended and added a toast from Bounty Killer.〔Reid, Nadine. ("Bounty Killa: 'I represent Dancehall!'" ). ''The Germaican Observer''. Issue 16. October 2001.〕
Like the song's dancehall style, the lyrics depict the band's post-show parties from touring in support of ''Return of Saturn''. The song details female groupies who attended the parties to hook up with the male band members. Stefani commented that "if you're talented and you're up there, girls want to make out with you." Bassist Tony Kanal described it as "a very PG version" of the licentiousness that took place while touring.〔Wiederhorn, Jon and Rankin, Rebecca. ("No Doubt's 'Hey Baby' Pays Tribute To Drooling, Gawking Groupies" ). MTV News. November 1, 2001. Retrieved July 12, 2007.〕 The song also touches on ''Rock Steady'''s overall theme of Stefani's impatience in her long-distance relationship with then-boyfriend Gavin Rossdale (whom she eventually married in 2002), as she sits "sipping on chamomile/watching boys and girls and their sex appeal".〔Cinquemani, Sal. ("Music Review: No Doubt: ''Rock Steady''" ). ''Slant Magazine''. 2004. Retrieved July 26, 2007.〕
