About Settle Down

"Settle Down" is a song by American rock band No Doubt. It is the first single from their sixth studio album Push and Shove (2012). Written by Gwen Stefani, Tony Kanal, Tom Dumont, and produced by Spike Stent, it was released on July 16, 2012 by Interscope Records. The song is a combination of many styles, such as reggae, ska, dancehall, Latin and Caribbean-tinged beats, merging with American pop and rock music. Lyrically, the song is about confidence and about feeling good, adjusting yourself to unfamiliar circumstances. The song received positive reviews from music critics, who praised the band for "returning to form" and for being familiar with their other songs. Some critics wrote that it resembles the songs from their fifth album Rock Steady, and particularly "Hey Baby", while some others compared it to Santigold songs. A music video for the song was directed by Sophie Muller and released on July 16, 2012. In it, the members of No Doubt reassemble in the form of a trucking convoy, which meets up to perform the song in a parking lot. It received mostly favorable reviews, with the reviewers praising the colors, lights and the band for returning to do videos. more »

Get in line and settle down
Get in line and settle down

What's your 20 (do you copy?)
Where's your brain (do you copy?)
Checking in to check you out
Concerned about your whereabouts 
Copy that (do you copy?)
You're acting strange (do you copy?)
So tell me what is going on
It's so heavy I bet

I'm fine (nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
I'm hella positive for real I'm all good
No I'm fine (nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
It's kinda complicated that's for sure

But you can see it in my eyes
You can read it on my lips
I'm trying to get a hold on this
And I really mean it this time
And you know it's such a trip
Don't get me started
I'm trying to get a hold on this

Get in line and settle down
Get in line and settle down

No big deal (I can handle it)
It'll bounce off me (I can handle it)
Been around the block before
Doesn't matter anymore
Here we go again (Are you kidding me?)
Are you insane? (Are you kidding me?)
Underneath the avalanche
It's so heavy again

I'm fine (nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
I'm hella positive for real I'm all good
No I'm fine (nothing's gonna knock this girl down)
It's kinda complicated that's for sure

But you can see it in my eyes
You can read it on my lips
I'm trying to get a hold on this
And I really mean it this time
And you know it's such a trip
Don't get me started
I'm trying to get a hold on this

Get in line and settle down
Get in line and settle down

Got you 10-4 lover
Got you 10-4 lover
Got you 10-4 lover
Got you 10-4 lover

I'm a rough and tough, I'm a rough and tough
Nothing's gonna knock this girl down
I'm a rough and tough, I'm a rough and tough
Nothing's gonna knock this girl down
I'm a rough and tough, I'm a rough and tough
Nothing's gonna knock this girl down
I'm a rough and tough, I'm a rough and tough
Nothing's gonna knock this girl down

But you can see it in my eyes
You can read it on my lips
I'm trying to get a hold on this
And I really mean it this time
And you know it's such a trip
Don't get me started
I'm trying to get a hold on this
Gotta get a hold on this
Trying to get a hold on this
Don't get me started
Gotta get a hold on this
