\n\tIt\u2019s been 24 years since No Doubt released their Return of Saturn<\/em> single, \u201cEx-Girlfriend,\u201d but the track still brings up emotions for Gwen Stefani.<\/p>\n \n\t\u201cI can\u2019t listen to a lot of the songs because they speak so clearly to me,\u201d the singer told KROQ\u2019s Klein & Ally during an Audacy Check-In interview this week. \u201cAnd it\u2019s like you have regret and mistakes you\u2019ve made. Most of the songs are about that. If I do \u2018Ex-Girlfriend,\u2019 even when I say it, I almost throw up in my mouth because\u2026it\u2019s just like, \u2018Oh my God.\u2019 It just brings you right back.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tShe continued, \u201cThere are lots of times when you\u2019d be on tour doing the repetitive songs, but it\u2019s not the songs. You\u2019re not in the songs. You\u2019re there with these new people every night and they\u2019re receiving the songs. So that\u2019s where you get the energy and you relive that moment with them. I can remember when \u2018Don\u2019t Speak\u2019 came out. My family was very conservative. I was very naive. The only place we\u2019d ever traveled to was San Francisco. I\u2019m not kidding you. We would [do]\u2026Catalina Island, Big Bear. [I lived at home until I was 26] and when I was 21, they called this family meeting, and we were like, \u2018We\u2019re going to go to Italy next year, and it\u2019s going to be this big trip.\u2019 And we did. I cried when we left. I was like, \u2018I\u2019ll never get to go back to my Italy.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n \n\tAfter going on what sounded like a permanent hiatus in 2013, the singer will be reuniting with longtime bandmates bassist Tony Kanal, guitarist Tom Dumont and drummer Adrian Young for this year\u2019s Coachella festival in April.<\/p>\n
