Interesting facts and trivia about The Sweet Escape. By Songfacts®.

In this song, a couple make up after a nasty fight, dreaming of an idyllic life together.

Stefani wrote this with Akon, who sings on it with her. Jimmy Iovine from Stefani's label Interscope Records set up the collaboration. Once they got together, the song fell in place quickly.

The Joseph Kahn-directed music video plays up the "escape" angle, as Stefani and the Harajuku Girls are seen in jail, eventually breaking out with the help of Akon. Stefani previously worked with Kahn when she appeared in Moby's "South Side" video.
