Blurb:
"The Sweet Escape" is a pop song written by Gwen Stefani, Akon, and Giorgio Tuinfort for Stefani's second solo album, The Sweet Escape (2006). Akon developed the song's beat before collaborating with Stefani. He designed it based on her previous work with No Doubt, and Stefani later commented that it put her "on the yellow brick road to the No Doubt record I might do". "The Sweet Escape" is an apology for a fight between two lovers and describes a dream of a pleasant life for them. As the album's title track, its title was chosen to help market Stefani's music and fashion lines.
The song generally received positive reviews from contemporary music critics, though there was a negative response to Akon's presence as a featured artist. "The Sweet Escape" was released as the album's second single in early 2007 and was commercially successful in mainstream and adult contemporary markets. It entered the top ten of most singles charts and topped the New Zealand Singles Chart. The song was nominated for Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 50th Grammy Awards. In the song's accompanying music video, Stefani attempts to escape from a golden prison.

Woo-hoo. Yee-hoo. [x4]
If I could escape
I would, but first of all let me say
I must apologize for acting stank and,treating you this way
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold
If I could escape
And re-create a place as my own world (own world)
And I could be your favorite girl
Forever, perfectly together
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet (be sweet)
I know I've been a real bad girl (bad girl)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
'soever, We can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape
Woo-hoo. Yee-hoo. [x4]
I wanna get away, to our sweet escape
You held me down
I'm at my lowest boiling point
Come help me out
I need to get me out of this joint
Come on, let's bounce
Counting on you to turn me around
Instead of clowning around let's look for some common ground
So baby, times get a little crazy
I've been getting a little lazy
Waiting for you to come save me
I can see that you're angry
By the way the you treat me
Hopefully you don't leave me
Want to take you with me
If I could escape (escape)
And re-create a place as my own world (own world)
And I could be your favorite girl
forever, perfectly together
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet (be sweet)
I know I've been a real bad girl (bad girl)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
'soever, we can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape
Woo-hoo. Yee-hoo. [x4]
If I could escape [x2]
Cause I've been acting like sour milk all on the floor
It's your fault you didn't shut the refrigerator
Maybe that's the reason I've been acting so cold
If I could escape (escape)
And re-create a place as my own world (own world)
And I could be your favorite girl
forever, perfectly together
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet? (sweet escape)
If I could be sweet
I know I've been a real bad girl (bad girl)
I didn't mean for you to get hurt
'soever, we can make it better
And tell me boy, now wouldn't that be sweet?
Sweet escape (sweet escape)
Woo-hoo. Yee-hoo. [x4]
I wanna get away, to our sweet escape
