"New" is a song by American rock band No Doubt, written by band members Gwen Stefani and Tom Dumont for the Go soundtrack (1999).[4] It was later included on No Doubt's fourth studio album Return of Saturn (2000).[5] It's the first single as a quartet, after the departure of original keyboardist Eric Stefani in 1994. The song is available as a downloadable track for the music video game series Rock Band[6] and Guitar Hero.[7] The song was a complete departure from the band's previous singles, switching from a ska punk-influenced sound to more new wave-influenced sound.[8]: 181
