"No Drama" is a song recorded by American singer Tinashe featuring guest vocals from American rapper Offset. It was released commercially for digital download via RCA Records on January 18, 2018, as the lead single from Tinashe's third studio album, Joyride (2018).

Background

The song was first revealed in a picture Tinashe posted on social media on January 12, 2018.[2]

Critical reception

Jon Blistein of Rolling Stone described the song as "brash", writing that it features "heavy bass and light-yet-sinister synths and crisp percussion".[3] Rania Aniftos of Billboard mentioned that the song is "powerful" and "glamorous".[4] Mike Nied of Idolator stated: "The track signifies a retreat to more comfortable ground after searching for crossover appeal with saccharine releases like "Player," "Superlove" and "Flame." Instead, Tinashe hops on a fierce production to drop some brag-heavy verses."[5]

Live performances

Tinashe performed No Drama on Good Morning America on April 6, 2018[6] and the Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon on April 12, 2018.[7][8]
