"The Sweet Escape" (с англ. — «Долгожданный побег») — второй студийный альбом американской певицы Гвен Стефани, выпущенный 1 декабря 2006 года.
После выпуска своего дебютного альбома Love. Angel. Music. Baby. Стефани анонсировала, что она наметила вернуться в No Doubt и записать шестой студийный альбом вместе с группой. После коммерческого успеха пластинки певица планировала выпустить несколько оставшихся песен как EP или бонусы для DVD.
Однако Фаррелл Уильямс, с которым она работала над песней «Hollaback Girl», предложил Стефани создать «a L.A.M.B. часть два», и они записали несколько песен в Майами, Флорида в июле 2005 года.
Они спродюсировали песни «Wind It Up», «Orange County Girl», «U Started It», «Yummy», «Breaking Up» и «Candyland» во время этих сессий, и композиции использовались на фэшн-шоу, представлявшем в 2006 году линию модной одежды Стефани L.A.M.B.
Гвен приостановила проект, узнав о своей беременности в декабре 2005 года, но вернулась в студию в августе 2006 года. Рабочим названием альбома было Candyland, сменившееся в итоге на The Sweet Escape, обозначавшем желание сбежать к лучшей жизни.
