===1998β2003: Continued touring and new albums === {{Main|Return of Saturn|Rock Steady (album)}} [[File:NoDoubtRockSteadyTour.jpg|thumb|left|No Doubt performing in 2002]] The band finished its tour in December 1997 and had several releases during the two-year writing process to make its follow-up to ''Tragic Kingdom''.<ref name="btm"/> ''[[Live in the Tragic Kingdom]]'', a live long-form video of the band's performance at the [[Arrowhead Pond of Anaheim]], was released and ''The Beacon Street Collection'' was re-released while the band was on tour that year. The band recorded "I Throw My Toys Around" with [[Elvis Costello]] for ''[[The Rugrats Movie]]'', and it contributed to [[The Clash]]'s tribute album ''[[Burning London: The Clash Tribute]]''. Stefani began to make recordings without the band, contributing vocals to tracks for [[The Brian Setzer Orchestra]], [[Prince (musician)|Prince]], [[Fishbone]], and Familyhood Nextperience, and her boyfriend [[Gavin Rossdale]]'s band [[Bush (British band)|Bush]]. After some time in-between albums, No Doubt included its song "[[New (No Doubt song)|New]]" on the [[soundtrack]] to the movie ''[[Go (1999 film)|Go]]'' in 1999. "New", inspired by Gwen's budding relationship with Rossdale, was one of the first songs written after the release of ''Tragic Kingdom''. In 2000, the band released ''[[Return of Saturn]]'', its follow-up to ''Tragic Kingdom''. The album featured a darker tone and was more lyrically advanced than No Doubt's previous work.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Thomas Erlewine|first=Stephen|author-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|date=May 12, 2000|title=Return of Saturn β No Doubt|url={{AllMusic|id=mw0000057560|type=album|pure_url=yes}}|access-date=December 30, 2006|website=AllMusic}}</ref> The main lyrical focus of the new record had shifted from Gwen Stefani's relationship with bassist Tony Kanal to her new relationship with Gavin Rossdale.<ref name=":3" /> ''Return of Saturn'' was critically acclaimed, but was not as commercially successful as their previous album, and the lead single, "[[Ex-Girlfriend (song)|Ex-Girlfriend]]", failed to chart on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]] in the United States. Also released as singles from the album were the tracks "[[Simple Kind of Life]]" and "[[Bathwater (song)|Bathwater]]". Lukewarm sales drastically shortened the tour that followed, appearing only in festival settings in L.A., Cincinnati, Nashville, Jacksonville and Miami. On August 10, No Doubt went on ''[[VH1 Storytellers]]'' and performed a few of their songs, and were joined by friend [[Alain Johannes]] (of [[Eleven (band)|Eleven]]) and former member Eric Stefani.<ref name=":1">{{cite web|title=Timeline {{!}} Journal|url=http://www.nodoubt.com/band/|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20090223124634/http://www.nodoubt.com/band/|archive-date=February 23, 2009|access-date=October 31, 2011|website=No Doubt official website}}</ref> After ''Return of Saturn'', the band returned to recording in January 2001. During this time, it contributed a cover version of [[Donna Summer]]'s "[[Love to Love You Baby (song)|Love to Love You Baby]]" for the ''[[Zoolander]]'' soundtrack and recorded a song with [[Kelis]] for her album ''[[Wanderland]]''. Stefani made high-profile appearances on [[Moby]]'s "[[South Side (song)|South Side]]" and [[Eve (entertainer)|Eve's]] "[[Let Me Blow Ya Mind]]". These appearances lent No Doubt credibility and an opportunity to explore new genres.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Thomas Erlewine|first=Stephen|author-link=Stephen Thomas Erlewine|title=Rock Steady β No Doubt|url={{AllMusic|id=mw0000229552|type=album|pure_url=yes}}|access-date=August 31, 2007|website=AllMusic}}</ref> Highly influenced by [[Jamaica]]n [[dancehall]] music and recorded primarily in Jamaica, the band's 2001 studio album, ''[[Rock Steady (album)|Rock Steady]]'', produced two hit [[Grammy]]-winning singles, "[[Hey Baby (No Doubt song)|Hey Baby]]", which featured [[Bounty Killer]], and "[[Underneath It All]]", which featured "the first lady of dancehall", [[Lady Saw]]. Both singles managed to reach the top five on the Billboard Hot 100. The album also released "[[Hella Good]]" and "[[Running (No Doubt song)|Running]]" as singles. In addition, pop-star Prince co-wrote, produced, and performed on "Waiting Room" from ''Rock Steady''. Stefani had previously provided vocals for a song on Prince's ''[[Rave Un2 the Joy Fantastic]]'' album, "So Far, So Pleased". In November 2002, No Doubt made an appearance in the ''[[Dawson's Creek]]'' episode "Spiderwebs".<ref>{{cite web|title=Dawson's Creek β Spiderwebs|url=https://tv.yahoo.com/dawsons-creek/show/spiderwebs/episode/10146|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120306012807/http://tv.yahoo.com/dawsons-creek/show/spiderwebs/episode/10146|archive-date=March 6, 2012|access-date=January 18, 2017|website=[[Yahoo!
