Listen to Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton's dreamy new duet, 'Purple Irises'
Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have released their dreamy new duet, "Purple Irises."
The couple throws things back in their respective pre-choruses, with Stefani singing, "It's not 1999 / But this face is still mine / The way you look at me / I swear my heart hits rewind."
Shelton, later in the song, sings, "It's not 2014 / But you still look good in those jeans / Lookin' in the mirror /Do you see what I see?"
They come together in the chorus, singing, "But if someone comes along and tries to love you like I love you / Don't know what I'd do, don't wanna lose you / If someone comes along and tries to take you, tries to make you / Don't let 'em change your mind / Wonder why you took a risk / On a broken heart you cannot fix / No, I never knew a love like this / Now I'm picking purple irises."

Stefani and Shelton have been teasing their latest song all week, posting a joint Instagram update on Feb. 5 revealing the track's artwork.
In the promotional photo, Stefani is glam in a denim jumpsuit while lounging on a retro-inspired couch – hinting at the song's throwback vibes – while Shelton sits by an upright piano rocking a Canadian tuxedo and holding a guitar.
Stefani is headlining the Super Bowl 58 TikTok Tailgate this Sunday and will perform "Purple Irises" with Shelton during the show. You can watch the performance on @NFL on TikTok.
