"No" is a song by American singer Summer Walker from her third studio album Finally Over It (2025). It contains a vocal sample of "Yes" by Beyoncé.[1] The song was produced by Terrace Martin, Troy Taylor U the Goat, Slimwav, Dos Dias and Tim Maxey.
Composition
"No" is a midtempo song about setting boundaries in a relationship. It begins with a sample of "Yes". Rawiya Kameir of Pitchfork noted the song "firmly rejects the gendered domesticity famously pledged on Destiny's Child's 'Cater 2 U.'"[2]
Critical reception
In his review of Finally Over It, Andy Kellman of AllMusic wrote that "Walker and company skillfully reference '90s and 2000s R&B, most cleverly so on 'No,' a ne'er-do-well rebuke that upends Beyoncé's "Yes" while retaining that song's seductive sonics."[3]
