No (Meghan Trainor song)

"No" (stylized in all caps) is a song by the American singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor from her second major-label studio album, Thank You (2016). Ricky Reed produced the song and wrote it with Trainor and Jacob Kasher Hindlin; Epic Records released it as the album's lead single on March 4, 2016. A dance-pop song inspired by 1990s pop music and R&B, "No" has lyrics about sexual consent and empowerment, encouraging women to reject unwanted advances from men. Music critics praised "No" as a showcase of Trainor's confident and mature side and deemed it an improvement from her earlier songs.
