Written past ring members Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal and Tom Dumont, "Hey Baby" was released every bit the album'southward lead single in Oct 2001 past Interscope Records. "Hey Baby" is heavily influenced by the Jamaican dancehall music nowadays at No Uncertainty'due south mail service-show parties and tour bus lounges of their Return of Saturn bout.[1] Its lyrics describe the debauchery with groupies at these parties.

It also reached the meridian-ten in several other countries, including Australia, Frg, New Zealand and the Great britain. At the 45th Grammy Awards, No Dubiety won the Grammy Award for All-time Pop Functioning by a Duo or Group with Vocal.
Groundwork and writing [edit]
"Hey Baby" was ane of the first songs written for Rock Steady.[2] The song begins with instrumentals programmed with producer Philip Steir at Toast Studios in San Francisco.[1] They experimented with ray gun-like electronic furnishings and sounds that guitarist Tom Dumont compared to Star Wars music.[3] Notably, the intro is reminiscent of the commencement of the song "Jungle Dearest" past the Steve Miller Band. The lyrics and melodies were recorded at a session at Dumont's home studio in Los Angeles weeks after. While the ring was working on the anthology in Kingston, Jamaica during March 2001, producers Sly and Robbie left the percussion and Gwen Stefani's original song.[1] The band asked near adding a guest appearance on the vocal, so Sly and Robbie recommended and added a toast from Bounty Killer.[iv]
Like the vocal'southward dancehall manner, the lyrics describe the band's mail service-evidence parties from touring in support of their fourth studio album Return of Saturn (2000). The song details female groupies who attended the parties to hook upwardly with the male band members. Stefani commented that "if you lot're talented and you're upwards at that place, girls want to make out with you." Bassist Tony Kanal described information technology as "a very PG version" of the licentiousness that took place while touring.[v] The vocal also touches on Stone Steady'due south overall theme of Stefani'south impatience in her long-distance human relationship with and then-fellow Gavin Rossdale (whom she eventually married in 2002), as she sits "sipping on chamomile/watching boys and girls and their sex appeal".[vi]
Composition [edit]
"Hey Baby" is a dancehall song equanimous in the key of E pocket-size.[7] Information technology is written in common fourth dimension and moves at a moderate tempo of 90 beats per infinitesimal.[8] The song focuses on programming and lacks prominent live instrumentation.[ix] As a result, the band needed four keyboard rigs to recreate the track'due south sound for alive performances,[10] including a Roland AX-1 and an E-mu Proteus 2000.[11] Stefani'southward vocal range spans over two octaves in the song, from D3 to E5.[8]
The song opens with an introduction consisting of a sustained measure of electronic effects followed by ii lines from the chorus. In each two-measure line during the first half of the verses, Stefani descends the scale while the keyboard plays the off-beats of the start measure out and the electrical bass opens the line with a two-annotation bassline. During the 2d half of the verses, Stefani'southward vocals are overdubbed, and the instrumentation becomes more frequent.[12] Each of the 2 verses is followed by the chorus, where overdubbing is used on Stefani'south vocals to produce first inversion and normal class Eastward minor chords. Bounty Killer then toasts the bridge, and after a cursory department sung by Stefani, the song closes past repeating the chorus twice.[8]
Critical reception [edit]
"Hey Baby" received generally positive reviews from music critics. LAUNCHcast's Lisa Oliver described the song as a mix of "spacesynth" and ragga that "bursts with Batman punches."[13] Colleen Delaney of Stylus Magazine was unimpressed by the lyrics' double entendres and noted that the toast and "deep, booming production save this song from being thin" only that it remained "inane and unengaging".[14] Sal Cinquemani of Slant Magazine found the song a return to the band'south roots, and that information technology finds No Doubt "sunnier (and tighter) than ever" equally a issue.[half dozen] Entertainment Weekly included "Hey Infant" in a list of the band's top five songs.[9] About.com ranked the song number three in a list of the top five singles from Stefani's career, with the ring and every bit a solo artist, for her "simultaneously sounding like she understands the hippest of contemporary pop (the Compensation Killer guest rap doesn't hurt) while having the wisdom of an adult several years out of loftier school."[15] The vocal was listed at number thirty-viii on the 2002 Pazz & Jop list, a survey of several hundred music critics conducted by Robert Christgau.[16]
The band'southward effort in dancehall music received mixed reviews. AllMusic reviewer Stephen Thomas Erlewine viewed the toast equally a mistake,[17] and Blender'southward Rupert Howe found the foray into dancehall misguided, leaving Compensation Killer sounding bored.[18] Alex Needham wrote for the NME that the vocal was a potent example of "white reggae" simply that many listeners may not be able to tolerate the genre itself.[nineteen] For Entertainment Weekly, David Browne described the chorus as "big, bustling, and irresistible" and its hip hop influence as kicky.[twenty] In the BBC review of The Singles 1992-2003, Ruth Mitchell wrote that the chorus was addictive and chiming and that the song had a "catchy dancehall groove".[21]
Chart performance [edit]
"Hey Baby" was called as the atomic number 82 unmarried from Rock Steady to represent the band'south more "upbeat and confident" attitude for the album.[1] Information technology was commercially successful in the United States and enticed a younger audition to No Doubt.[nine] The vocal debuted at number 36 on the Billboard Hot 100, remaining on the nautical chart for half a year.[22] In its third calendar week, the vocal became the band'due south highest charting single, eventually peaking at number five for two consecutive weeks, later broken when "Underneath It All" reached number iii.[22] [23] It was successful in the mainstream music market, topping the Meridian 40 Mainstream and reaching the elevation ten on the Tiptop 40 Tracks and Developed Height xl. The song had significant crossover success and reached number 5 on the Rhythmic Acme 40 chart.[23] At the 2003 Grammy Awards, the song won the accolade for Best Popular Operation past a Duo or Group with Vocal, and No Incertitude performed a medley of "Underneath It All" and "Hella Proficient" at the prove.[24]

In the United kingdom of great britain and northern ireland, "Hey Babe" debuted at number 2 on the UK Singles Chart.

The accompanying music video, directed by Dave Meyers, follows the theme of the lyrics. It shows the band on a tour bus, stopping at a party at Club Poonani. The members separate when three girls approach the male person band members. Kanal has his film taken with several women, paying for it by taking coin that drummer Adrian Young earns by hanging from gymnastics rings naked. Dumont defeats a woman, portrayed past Sonya Boil, in an endurance drinking game, and Stefani dances, somewhen joining Bounty Killer on stage.[26] At that place are intercut scenes of the band members on a red and black groundwork, a black and white houndstooth background, and standing on pinnacle of the phrases "NO DOUBT", "Stone STEADY", and "HEY Infant" in red and white.
The video was filmed in three days in Boyle Heights, Los Angeles.[27] The scenes were designed to recreate the parties that the band attended while recording Rock Steady in Jamaica. Young's scene was based on an bodily event, where he won US$200 on a dare to hang upside down and naked on the rings at a club in New York City. Dumont's scene, filmed at Casa Mexicana, is inspired by a similar scene from the 1981 Indiana Jones pic Raiders of the Lost Ark.[26]
Immature's full frontal on the rings, shown during Bounty Killer's line "The manner you rock your hips, you know that it astonish me," was controversial.[28] Bounty Killer'southward rival Beenie Man stated that "the video portray Bounty equally a gay. That is a Jamaican artist, and that tin can't gwan in a dancehall, no way." Bounty Killer cancelled his performances with No Doubt because of the incident, stating that "they did non understand considering they are from America and they accept gay people … If Jamaica is upset, I ain't going to accept no success that my culture is non proud of."[29]
