Gwen Stefani has a new single that nods to her past.
"Let Me Reintroduce Myself" recalls the ska-punk sound of her early days with No Doubt and even references her song "Hollaback Girl" from her early days as a solo artist.

The three-time Grammy winner will perform the song Monday night for the first time on NBC's "The Voice."
"This song is a way of saying I’m back with new music," Stefani said in a statement. "It’s a fun, lighthearted song, because I got inspired and hopefully to bring a little bit of joy."

"I’m still the same me but here’s something a little bit new in case you feel like hearing a little bit more of me.”
This is a return to pop for Stefani, having scored two country hits with her fiancé, Blake Shelton, and released new holiday songs this year.
