Trainor co-wrote it with Jacob Kasher Hindlin and Andrew Wells, who produced it as well. The track was announced in February 2018 along with its official single artwork. The pop song, with country and R&B influences, has lyrics against sexism. The song received acclaim from music critics, some of whom noted that it was a return to the sound of Trainor's album Title (2015).

Colin Tilley directed the music video for "No Excuses", which features visual effects showing Trainor with two carbon copies of herself and donning various outfits that were inspired by the 1980s, in pastel-colored backdrops. She performed the song on several shows like The Ellen DeGeneres Show, The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, Sport Relief, Sounds Like Friday Night and The Today Show, and she included it on the set list of her 2024 concert tour, the Timeless Tour.
