"I don’t remember them, no, not at all. I don’t! I think I’m going to have to learn probably like, eight or nine [songs]," she said, before accidentally revealing one of the tracks they’re going to perform. "One of the first songs I ever wrote was called ‘Different People,’ we’re doing that."

As the audience erupted with excitement, Stefani hastily covered her mouth in shock, exclaiming, “I’m not supposed…” She then attempted to backtrack, suggesting they might include that one.The track “Different People” was part of the band’s third album, 1995’s Tragic Kingdom. No Doubt's previous reunion was in 2012 for their album Push and Shove, and their last live performance together was in 2015.
