As No Doubt ticked towards the end of the first night of their Las Vegas Sphere residency on Wednesday with “Just a Girl,” a period-perfect hit that’s become a generational touchstone over the past few decades, lead singer Gwen Stefani put a nostalgic cap on the evening.

“I wrote this song out of pure innocence in a time where I was just becoming aware of myself and my surroundings,” she told the 20,000-odd fans in the audience. “I always thought I would grow up too much to sing it and it would be out of style. But you tell me if it’s still relevant or stylish. It’s up to you guys.”
