This song is about groupies who try very hard to get some time with the male members of No Doubt. Lead singer Gwen Stefani says these ladies are much worse than the male fans who like her. As the only girl in the group, she sees what happens backstage as her bandmates entertain their female fans.
"Hey Baby" has a dancehall sound and features a rap from the Jamaican reggae artist Bounty Killer, who also appears in the video. In Jamaica, rappers are known as "toasters," as rap began there when DJs spoke over records, which they called "toasting."
The reggae musicians Sly Dunbar and Robbie Shakespeare (Sly and Robbie) produced this track. They were session musicians for years, providing reggae rhythms for Bob Dylan, Grace Slick, and The Rolling Stones, among others.
