Stefani reflected on the song’s success in an interview with Variety. “When I was writing back then, I was so naive, I didn’t know anyone would hear it ever,” she recalled. “We had been working on that record for so long before it came out. So I think when there’s something that honest and real and pure — and not done for any other reason than just to say it for your own heart — then people connect to that. … It was so different from everything else on our record, so the fact that it was the defining world hit that it was — and continues to be — is insane.”
She continues to sing “Don’t Speak” even though the band is no longer together. They split up in 2004.
“I’ve been performing it without them for probably seven years,” she said. “I love performing that song. It never gets old to me. It’s like, you know you’re giving [the fans] what makes them so happy when you do it, and it brings people right back to that place where they first heard that song or related to that song for whatever pain they were going through. [I’m] really lucky to have that one.”
