Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale were married for nearly 13 years and share three sons: Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10.
Gwen Stefani’s lyrics are a sweet escape back to the past.
The 54-year-old released the next single, “Somebody Else’s,” off her forthcoming album “Bouquet” on Friday and didn’t hold back on the country-rock track.
Stefani details why she had to leave an ex — and is so much happier now that he’s “somebody else’s problem.”
“I don’t know what a heart like mine was doin’ in a love like that,” she sings in the opening line. “I don’t know what a woman like me was doing with a man like you / But now I got a love so true.”
Stefani really gets into the details in the chorus, explaining: “Now that I’ve found the real thing / You don’t compare / And I don’t care that you’re somebody else’s / And it doesn’t even break my heart / You’re somebody else’s / And I pray for them whoever they are.”
The “Just a Girl” artist also made it clear to fans that she isn’t looking to relive the past: “If I could go back in time, I would erase you / But I could never go back there.”
And elsewhere in the song, Stefani details the unnamed ex’s unflattering characteristics: “Narcissistic, semi-psychotic, so manipulated,” singing: “I bought it every time / But not this time / You gaslit, my world was burning / Had to leave before it stopped turning / So happy I could cry / ‘Cause you’re not mine.
