SONG FACTS
Writer(s): Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Chad Hugo
Producer(s): The Neptunes
A "Hollaback Girl" Is One Of The Lesser Cheerleaders Who Yells In The Background. Gwen Stefani Is Asserting That She Is The Queen Bee On This Squad, Leading The Cheers With The Hollaback Girls In Her Service. She Was 35 Years Old When The Song Was Released, But Had No Trouble Playing A High School Cheerleader In The Video.
Marching Band Instruments Like Trombones, Saxophones And Clarinets Were Used On This Track, Which Ties In With The Cheerleader Theme. It's The Only #1 Hit With A Prominent Tuba ("The Tears Of A Clown" Uses A Bassoon).
Stefani Got The Idea For The Cheerleader Theme When She Recalled A Comment Courtney Love Said About Her In An Issue Of Seventeen Magazine: "Being Famous Is Just Like Being In High School. But I'm Not Interested In Being The Cheerleader. I'm Not Interested In Being Gwen Stefani. She's The Cheerleader, And I'm Out In The Smoker Shed."
Pharrell Williams And Chad Hugo Produced This Track And Wrote The Song With Stefani. At The Time, Williams And Hugo Were Active In Their Band N.E.R.D And Produced Under The Moniker The Neptunes. Their Energetic Hip-Hop Beats Fueled Tracks By Britney Spears ("I'm A Slave 4 U"), Nelly ("Hot In Herre") And Many Others.
Stefani Sneaks In A Profanity Partway Through The Song, Saying, "This S--T's Bananas," Before Spelling Out The Word "Bananas" Multiple Times. She Masks The Full Forbidden Word Every Time, But It's Clearly What She's Saying.
This Was The First Song To Sell One Million Legal Downloads. It Was Also The First Single To Sell More Digital Downloads Than Cds.
