No Doubt‘s video for their hit single “Don’t Speak” has reached one billion views on YouTube.
“Don’t Speak” was the third single from No Doubt’s third studio album, Tragic Kingdom (1995).
Lead singer Gwen Stefani and her brother Eric Stefani, a former No Doubt member, originally wrote the song as a love song. The song went through several rewrites and new versions.
Gwen modified it into a breakup song about her bandmate and ex-boyfriend Tony Kanal shortly after he ended their seven-year relationship.
“Don’t Speak” was nominated for Song of the Year and Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocals at the 40th Grammy Awards.
The video was directed by Sophie Muller. The video won the award for Best Group Video and was nominated for Video of the Year at the 1997 MTV Video Music Awards.
