Addressing the aging which is natural for all, Gwen says, "Everything fades, everything dies / Put me in a vase, but you can't / You can't stop time.”
"It's not 1999 / But this face is still mine / The way you look at me / I swear my heart hits rewind," she said, as per ET.
Shelton joins in as the two sing together, "Wonder why you took a risk / On a broken heart you cannot fix. No, I never knew a love like this / Now I'm picking purple irises."

‘Purple Irises’ is written by Stefani along with Svante Halldin, Jakob Hazell and Niko Rubio, and the track is produced by Scott Hendricks and recorded in Nashville, Tennessee. It is available via Warner Music Nashville and Interscope Records.
"It's a song Gwen wrote with a couple of friends of hers and I fell in love with it the first time I heard it," Shelton said in a statement.
"She knew there was something different about it and asked me to come in and sing with her. My longtime producer, Scott Hendricks, produced it, and Gwen’s been wanting to work with him for a long time now, and it’s turned into this really cool and different song that can live anywhere," he added.
