Gwen Stefani Performs 'Hollaback Girl' on Fallon

Gwen Stefani made a nostalgic appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, performing her 2005 hit "Hollaback Girl" during the show's "Classroom Instruments" segment. Joined by Fallon and The Roots, she sang into a banana-shaped shaker while they played with various toy instruments, omitting the song's explicit lyric and enthusiastically shouting the 'B-A-N-A-N-A-S' chorus. The performance coincided with the release of her latest album, Bouquet, which features singles like "Purple Irises" and "Somebody Else's." This marks Stefani's first solo album since 2016, showcasing her growth as an artist after overcoming creative blocks. "Hollaback Girl" was originally released in 2004 and remains her only solo #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100. The segment continues a beloved tradition on Fallon's show, which has featured over 30 similar performances since its inception in 2012.
