Stefani and Shelton’s creative synergy has previously resulted in chart-topping hits, including “Nobody But You” and “Happy Anywhere,” both of which dominated Billboard’s Hot Country Songs chart. “Purple Irises” continues in this vein, with Shelton praising the song’s unique quality and the opportunity to work with Hendricks, fulfilling Stefani’s long-standing desire to collaborate with the award-winning producer.

Stefani’s career is distinguished by her versatility, insight, and the raw honesty of her songwriting. With hits like “True Babe” and “Slow Clap” featuring Saweetie, Stefani has maintained her relevance and appeal across various musical genres. Her achievements include three GRAMMY® Awards, global sales exceeding 60 million units, and a No. 1 debut on the Billboard 200 with her 2015 solo album, “This Is What the Truth Feels Like.” Stefani’s impact extends beyond music, having served as a coach on NBC’s “The Voice” for seven seasons, further cementing her status as a multifaceted artist.
