Gwen Stefani isn’t sweating the negative criticism facing her latest single “Wind It Up.”

G.S has come under fire from fans and cynics because the song sampled The Lonely Goatherd from Stefani’s favorite movie, The Sound Of Music.

But Gwen loves the fact that the song is so different:

“I knew some people wouldn’t get it but I think I am enough down the line to not care. The people that did get it are Sound Of Music fans and really got a lot of pleasure from it.”

“When Pharrell Williams and I first wrote it, it didn’t have the sample in it. Then I went to my first big New York L.A.M.B. fashion show and DJ Jeremy Healy did a mash-up for me with it in. When I first heard it I nearly cried. I still think it’s brilliant and I stand by it. Why can’t you do something weird for a while? These songs are all about having fun, silly records that are to be enjoyed and not taken too seriously.”
