Overview Edit

"Cool" is a pop rock 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 were heavily inspired by pop and new wave 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.

The song was released as the album's fourth single in mid-2005 (see 2005 in music) and entered the top twenty on the majority of the charts it appeared on. Although "Cool" failed to match the success of its predecessor "Hollaback Girl", it reached number one in Canada.

5 stars Slow But The Best!
It's one of the COOLest song by Gwen. It's slow, but it's good. If you ever seen the video clip, it's good! This single is good, but I'd rather choose Rich Girl than this. The lyrics, it's like a poem (maybe). For the lyrics, I give her 8.5. It's much more better than the Hollaback Girl lyrics, I must say. For the tone, she got 9. It's slow and good. Many other slow songs has a boring tone. But this one is different! For the video clip, I'd give 8. She looked classy and... beautiful. Even the co…

2 stars Hear me out
The song "Cool" is a great song. The remixes on this cd are okay to me. I love remixes, but these were not that great. I mainly bought the CD for the video, which I love, and the video doesnt exist on the cd I bought. Be mindful about that possibility if you want to buy this cd. The song and video for "Cool" are superb!
