"No Love" is a song by American singers Summer Walker and SZA from Walker's second studio album Still Over It (2021). The song was written by Walker, SZA, Sean Garrett, Charles Ocasey Jr and Sony Ramos, and produced by Forthenight. It was sent to rhythmic contemporary radio in the United States as the album’s second single on March 29, 2022. An "Extended Version" with American rapper Cardi B was also released on March 25, 2022 alongside a music video.[1]
"No Love" is a pop-inspired "unflinchingly raw, exquisitely pretty R&B" song that sees Summer Walker and SZA "regret defending a man who isn't worth it", as Walker sings in the third verse: "Tried to act like I wasn't good enough in your eyes / Funny now that you callin', that you ringin' my line".[2] The chorus of the song "works as a mantra" as Walker sings: "All I wanna do is fuck, get drunk, take drugs".[3] They complain about the time that was wasted because of "emotional intimacy" not happening, "promising to only involve themselves in no-strings-attached relationships in the future" over the "groovy" bass-heavy production of the song, which is intended to "provide a foil to the two singers' voices, grants the pair room to display the full-range of their vocal talents".[4]
Writing for Clash, Josh Abraham wrote that "No Love" is "simply magnificent" and that "the soft, yet addictive vocals on this beautifully put together track allows for both artists to swim in harmony with each other".[5] Meagan Jordan of Rolling Stone described the song as "a sex anthem about the need to sometimes 'fuck, get drunk,' without the messy emotions that could come with attachment".[6] Kiana Fitzgerald of NPR Music felt that "Summer Walker's collaborations with other women stand out on the album", citing "the intentionally detached nature of" the song.[7]
