About NO

"No" (stylized in all caps) is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor for her second major-label studio album Thank You (2016). It was written by Trainor, Eric Frederic, and Jacob Kasher Hindlin, and produced by Ricky Reed. The track was released on March 4, 2016, as the lead single from the album. Backed by an instrumental of ripping guitars, the dance-pop and R&B song draws some influences from doo-wop, with lyrics about men who cannot take the hint when their advances towards women are rejected. Its composition was compared by several critics to various pop artists of the late 1990s and early 2000s, such as Britney Spears and NSYNC. "No" was a commercial success, becoming Trainor's second single to reach the top three on the US Billboard Hot 100, peaking at number three. It also reached the top ten in several European countries (Austria, Spain, Scotland), as well as in Australia and Canada. Fatima Robinson directed the music video for "No". It was set at a warehouse, noted to be visually darker than Trainor's previous clips and featured her dancing alongside an all-female dance troupe. The clip drew comparisons to the works of Spears and Madonna for its sexual nature. Trainor has performed "No" on several shows, including the 3rd iHeartRadio Music Awards, The Graham Norton Show, The Ellen DeGeneres Show, and the 2016 Billboard Music Awards. She also performed it during The Untouchable Tour (2016).
