"A No No" is a song by American singer and songwriter Mariah Carey from her fifteenth studio album, Caution (2018). The song was written by Carey, Robert "Shea" Taylor, Priscilla Hamilton, Mason Betha and Camron Giles. Since the track samples Lil' Kim's "Crush on You" (1997), songwriting credits were added for a total of nine. Digitally released as a promotional single in November 2018, Epic Records serviced it to rhythmic contemporary and urban contemporary radio as the second single from the album on March 4, 2019. The song failed to chart on the US Hot 100 or any major music chart internationally.
"A No No" is a hip hop and R&B song with a blithely dismissive chorus and frisky beat. The song features lyrics that taunt a former acquaintance who could not handle the singer's expectations. It was positively received by music critics. The music video was released on March 8, 2019. It starts with the singer riding a neon pink and blue train. As the video progresses, Carey is joined by other passengers in an impromptu party where she sings and they dance. "A No No" was supported by remixes featuring Stefflon Don and Shawni, each accompanied by a music video. The original version of the song charted at number 17 on the US R&B Digital Songs chart. It was included as the opening track in the setlist for the Caution World Tour (2019).
