Shine (Gwen Stefani song)

"Shine" is a song by American singer Gwen Stefani. While it remains unreleased commercially, it is known for its history and association with Stefani's third solo studio album, This Is What the Truth Feels Like (2016).

The song was originally intended to be included on This Is What the Truth Feels Like, and early versions of the album's track listing featured "Shine". Information available online suggests that a demo version of the song exists and has circulated among fans.

However, in the time leading up to the album's release, Stefani made changes to the track list, removing some songs and adding others. "Shine" was ultimately cut from the final version of This Is What the Truth Feels Like. The reasons for its omission are not explicitly stated, though it is common for artists to record numerous songs during the album-making process, only to select a smaller subset for the final product.

Despite its lack of official release, "Shine" is notable because its potential inclusion created anticipation among Stefani's fanbase and its subsequent removal generated discussion about the album's development. Its leaked demo, should it exist, is of interest to collectors of unreleased material. No official statement from Stefani or her representatives regarding a possible future release of "Shine" has been made.
