“Don’t Speak” nunca foi lançado como single nos Estados Unidos, mas alcançou o número 1 no Billboard Hot 100 Airplay, permanecendo lá por dezesseis semanas.
A faixa foi coescrita por Gwen Stefani e seu irmão Eric Stefani, e passou por diversas reescritas; um demo apareceu em um CD demo enviado à Interscope antes do lançamento de Tragic Kingdom.
Em 7 de dezembro de 1996, após a apresentação no Saturday Night Live, o álbum Tragic Kingdom atingiu o número 1 no Reino Unido, mantendo-se lá por nove semanas.
O videoclipe, dirigido pela primeira vez por Sophie Muller, recebeu o prêmio de Melhor Grupo no MTV Video Music Awards e comentava a atenção dos meios de comunicação voltada a Gwen Stefani, ignorando os demais integrantes do grupo.
Apesar de não ter sido comercializado como single, “Don’t Speak” ajudou Tragic Kingdom a vender cerca de 15 milhões de cópias, consolidando o sucesso internacional da banda.
A música foi nomeada para Prêmio Grammy de Melhor Performance Pop em Dupla ou Grupo com Voz em 1998, mas não venceu.
