"Don't Let Me Down" comes off Rock Steady, the fifth No Doubt album, which Interscope released in December 2001. It was the record where the band went globetrotting, from sessions in Los Angeles and San Francisco to London and Jamaica, and came home soaked in electropop, dancehall and new wave. Gwen Stefani wrote this one with Tom Dumont and Tony Kanal, and the band produced it with Ric Ocasek, who also added keyboards. Mark "Spike" Stent mixed it and contributed extra production, Karl Derfler recorded it, and Dumont and Kanal handled some of the recording themselves.
The album turned into a comeback, outselling Return of Saturn (2000), drawing a Grammy nomination for Best Pop Vocal Album and later landing at 316 on Rolling Stone's list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time in 2003.
