At one point, the No Doubt alum told the audience about what songwriting means to her:

“Songwriting is the thing that helped me get my identity and my confidence and helped me to think I had any value at all in this world. Being able to write my feelings in songs struck me. I didn’t know I had that in me and I don’t think anyone around me expected it as well. It wasn’t until probably writing â€˜Just a Girl,’ when I realized that the way that I felt was the way a lot of people felt and I was somehow able to put that into a song where people could relate. That was when I started to realize that I could connect and it felt so good.”

In addition to her own songs and No Doubt bangers, Gwen also covered Rihanna‘s Umbrella AKA a song she admitted she wished was her own!
