No Thank You (stylised in all caps) is the fifth studio album by English rapper Little Simz. It was released on 12 December 2022 through the independent label Forever Living Originals after being announced less than a week prior. No Thank You is a hip hop album containing elements of gospel, afrobeat, soul, funk, and electronic music.

The songs on No Thank You contain subtle rhythms with orchestral instrumentation, featuring Simz rapping about her music industry experiences, intrapersonal communication, and spiritual revelations. Simz worked with longtime collaborators Inflo (for production) and Cleo Sol (for background vocals) to create this project. Simz released a ten-minute short film on 16 December 2022 to accompany the album.

The album received critical acclaim from music critics, who praised its emotional depth, smooth production, and Simz's lyrical quality. Despite being released at the end of the year, The Daily Telegraph declared No Thank You the best UK rap album of 2022, while Rolling Stone, BrooklynVegan and other publications also ranked the album highly in their respective year-end lists.[2][3][4]
