Song |
"No No No" is an R&B song performed by American group Destiny's Child for their debut studio album Destiny's Child (1998). The song was produced by Vincent Herbert, Rob Fusari and Wyclef Jean and received a positive reception from music critics. The original version (Part 1) and its remix featuring Wyclef Jean (Part 2) was released as the group's debut single in the fourth quarter of 1997 and reached the top in the United States, where it was certified platinum. It was the first single for the group, worldwide, but the second single for the group in the UK, after "With Me". The remix is based around a sample of The Love Unlimited Orchestra's "Strange, Games and Things."
Vocals
- Lead vocals: Beyoncé Knowles (2 verses, 1 bridge) and Kelly Rowland (harmonizes 2 verses)
- Background vocals: Kelly Rowland, LeToya Luckett and LaTavia Roberson
Music video
In the video for "Part 2", directed by Darren Grant, Wyclef Jean plays his guitar as Destiny's Child sings along. When he stops, he says to the group, "All we need to do is drop a fat beat for the clubs." The group begins a choreographed dance in a large room. Wyclef Jean also makes an appearance in a room next to the room where the group is.
In 1998, a new video, also directed by Darren Grant, was created to promote "Part 1". In the clip, the group performs a choreographed dance at a nightclub.
The Part 2 music video is featured on the video compilation The Platinum's on the Wall and the DualDisc edition of the album #1's. The Part 1 music video is also featured on the video compilation The Platinum's on the Wall and as an enhanced video on the Australian edition of The Writing's on the Wall.
Commercial and chart success
The single entered the UK Singles Chart at number five on 28 March 1998, and spent eight weeks in the Top 75.
It sold over 146,000 copies in the UK and over 1 million copies worldwide. In 1998, the song won two Soul Train Lady of Soul Awards for "Best R&B/Soul Single by a Group, Band or Duo" and "Best R&B/Soul or Rap New Artist".
