Lead single off 3rd album "This Is What The Truth Feels Like"(2016), written and inspired by the end of her 13 year marriage to Gavin Rossdale The song sees Stefani heartbroken and it's furthered by the music video as well It peaked at #52 on the Hot 100 & #21 on Pop radio I love this song cause of how heartfelt it is and the inspiration for it equally makes it even better Man I can't believe this came out in October 2 years ago already, so soon, time flies

I thought this was terrible. Her overacting in the video was hilarious, though! Watch in on mute - great for a laugh.

Yeah, this was good. I was glad she released something of this quality after "Baby Don't Lie" and "Spark the Fire."

This was okay, the post-chorus kind of ruined it though. And the video was so bad.

I liked this a lot. It reminded me a little of my all-time favorite Gwen song, "4 In The Morning".

The vocals were a mess! "Make Me Like You" was 100x better.

This was pretty overall, but her shrieks were a major no for me. They weren't bad enough to derail the whole thing, but so absolutely not needed in any way. BDL was much much better.
Way before Katy or Taylor, Gwen was one of the main people you could depend on always sounding very significantly worse live than on record (though to her credit, she pretty much always sung live during a period when TOTP was still going), but she knew that a studio vocal shouldn't be overly jarring.

I couldn't stand this song when it came out but when I was listening to it a few months ago for the rankdown I kind of liked it. I still don't like the video.

The one thing that bothers me about the song is that the pre-chorus sounds like it's leading to something more epic than it actually does. Still, it's probably my favorite song off of the album and I revisit it a lot.
The video gave me Jessica Simpson "I Belong To Me" levels of overacting and forced emotion. What the hell was she thinking?
