"Rich Girl" is a song by American recording artist Gwen Stefani(pictured) from her 2004 debut solo album, Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Produced by Dr. Dre, the track features rapper Eve, who had previously collaborated with Stefani on the 2001 single "Let Me Blow Ya Mind". "Rich Girl" is a remake of Louchie Lou & Michie One's 1993 song of the same name, which was in turn an adaptation of the Fiddler on the Roof song "If I Were a Rich Man". In the song, Stefani discusses dreams of wealth and luxury. She has said that the song is from the perspective of "when she was just an Orange County girl". The last song to be included on the album, "Rich Girl" was released in late 2004 to mixed reviews from music critics. Some found it ironic that Stefani, who had already sold 26 million records as a member of the rock group No Doubt, discussed having money in the counterfactual conditional. It was a commercial success, reaching the top ten on the majority of the charts it entered. In the United States, the song was certified gold, and it received a nomination for Best Rap/Sung collaboration at the 48th Grammy Awards. The music video was directed by David LaChapelle and features a pirate theme. (Full article...)
