Gwen Stefani Seemingly Shades Ex Gavin Rossdale In New Track 'Somebody Else's'
Stefani and Bush rocker Rossdale, 58, as fans know, tied the knot in 2002 and share three sons; Kingston, 18, Zuma, 16, and Apollo, 10.
The "Hollaback Girl" hitmaker and "Glycerine" artist split in 2015 after almost 12 years of marriage and finalized their divorce the following year.
Stefani revealed her romance with Blake Shelton, her co-star on The Voice, in November 2015. The couple tied the knot in July 2021, at a chapel located on the country superstar's ranch in Oklahoma.
In her new song's chorus, Stefani also sings: "You’re somebody else’s / And it doesn’t even break my heart / You’re somebody else’s / And I pray for them, whoever they are."
She goes on to croon: "Everyday with you is rock bottom / Leavin’ you saved me, my God / Look at me blossom / You’re somebody else’s problem."
Throughout the track, the GXVE mogul appears to label her unidentified former partner as "fake," and at one moment, she goes as far as to declare, "you're dead to me."
During the bridge of "Somebody Else's," many fans were surprised by the icy words: "Narcissistic, semi-psychotic / So manipulated, I bought it." She also sings: "You gaslit my world, it was burning / Had to leave before it stopped turning."
Soon after the mom of three released her latest musical offering last month, fans headed to X (formerly Twitter) to share their thoughts and theories on how Rossdale might've inspired it.
"@gwenstefani you outdid yourself ma'am !!! LOVE this new era & direction," one listener gushed as another added: "Gavin Rossdale's ass listening to "Somebody Else's" by #GwenStefani," along with humorous emojis and a funny gif of John Krasinski making a surprised face on The Office.
While Stefani has yet to reveal who her subject of "Somebody Else's" is, many devotees continue to point fingers at Rossdale being its inspo (and we can see why!)
