The story behind
The song Sixteen, with its duration of 3:22, is a piece from the album Tragic Kingdom by No Doubt. This record, released in October 1995, marked a turning point for the American band. It was the last work in which original keyboardist Eric Stefani participated, who left the group in 1994. The album's production was handled by Matthew Wilder, and the recording process spanned several months, covering eleven different studios in the Greater Los Angeles area between March 1993 and October 1995.
Tragic Kingdom became No Doubt's most commercially successful album. Seven singles were released from this work, including Just a Girl, which charted on the Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart, and Don't Speak, which topped the Billboard Hot 100 Airplay and reached the top positions on international charts. The band, formed in 1986 in Anaheim, California, evolved from its ska roots towards a sound closer to soft rock, with influences from Jamaican reggae. While their debut album, No Doubt, released six years after their formation, did not achieve the expected impact, it was with Tragic Kingdom that they gained global recognition, contributing to the resurgence of ska in the nineties and earning a Diamond certification in the United States. The mix of Sixteen was done by David J. Holman and Paul Palmer.
