This was pretty much universally trashed when it came out, but I've always liked it. It's one of those songs that only she could do.
Released as the lead single from her sophomore album The Sweet Escape, it reached #6 on the Hot 100 and #18 on R&R.

The only time I heard this song or saw the video was on the commercials that said her album was on sale for $9.98 at Target.

I was listening to this earlier today. While it's not really ground-breaking or overly special, it's fun and naughty. I like the "Lonely Goatherd" sample. And the video was awesome!

I couldn't believe it when this came out. First she had the nerve to release an album full of leftovers, then she released this as the first single! It's absolute rubbish, but it is a whole lot of fun and a bit of a guilty pleasure sadly.

gwen at her peak, only she had the balls to sample the sound of music, and fucking pwn it! It spent 3 weeks at #1 on my personal chart.

This was bloody awful! Got completely over-shadowed by the electric second single. And thank god it did, cos without 'TSE' becoming a hit her sophomore solo album would have tanked hard. I still believe the poor reception to the singles, minus 'TSE', from this era was the sole reason she's now back with No Doubt.

TSE was nowhere near LAMB, but I don't feel like everything except for the title track was horrible, Early Winter is one of the album's best moments, NTYGI probably wasn't a good choice. 4 in the Morning was pretty decent too, but wonderful life was the best song by far.

I was shocked that Gwen released this & had the guts to perform it live. Really hot song though. :)

when this came out, our first block teacher would let us watch vh1 whilst we worked, and i literally stood in front of the tv while a girl was trying to change the channel, i won , of course, and she left the room and stood in the hall till it was over, it's a polarizing song.

I think only 2 of the songs on TSE were LAMB leftovers... It didn't sound that way.... She said she wanted to release a couple of L.A.M.B. leftovers, which sparked the desire to release another album and people misinterpreted that and started saying she released an album full of them.

In all of my decades of following music, this remains one of the most mind-bogglingly stupid lead single choices by a major artist I've ever seen. Without a doubt top 5. Just a ridiculous, sh*tty song. How did anyone listen to this and think it was a good idea? How did her record label sign off on this? This was so horrible it should have been declared a state of emergency.
Imagine how different that era would have been if TSE had been the first single. TSE was so undeniable, radio couldn't ignore it, not even after this stinker. But they sure as hell made the decision to ignore everything else and the era could never fully recover. This was a jump the shark moment and the beginning of her decline. She and Pharrell (outside of one or two songs) have made nothing but sh*t together and their insistence on working together has always been hilarious to me.

Iconic, not the best but fun enough in that wacky way that only someone like Gwen could honestly pull off
