"Cool" is a pop song written by American singer-songwriter Gwen Stefani and Dallas Austin for Stefani's debut solo album Love. Angel. Music. Baby. The song's musical style, and its production by Austin, was heavily inspired by music from the 1980s, and its lyrics chronicle a relationship in which two lovers have separated, but remain "cool" with each other and good friends. It received praise from critics, and parallels have been drawn by the media between the lyrical content of "Cool" and the real-life relationship Stefani had with Tony Kanal, a fellow group member of Stefani's in No Doubt. The song was released as the fourth single in the summer of 2005, and although it failed to match the chart success of its predecessor "Hollaback Girl", which reached number one in several countries, "Cool" is considered to be a worldwide hit as it reached number one in Canada, the top ten in Australia, and the top twenty in the United Kingdom and the United States, where it became Stefani's fifth top-twenty single.
