In this song, the ladies of Destiny's Child know that "no" really means "yes" when it comes to the guy they're after. He needs to drop the act and show some affection.
The group recorded two versions of this song, both of which were included on their self-titled debut album. The first, with a sensual R&B feel, is "No, No, No Part 1." The second is a remix by Wyclef Jean (of the Fugees), who also adds vocals on the track. This version has a beat behind it, and more importantly, is the song where they developed their quick, punctuated vocal style, which became their signature sound. Lead singer Beyoncé Knowles sang it fast as a joke, by Wyclef liked it and had her record it that way. The Wyclef version was released as a single and gave the group their first hit.
"No, No, No" went to #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #1 on the R&B chart. Both the single and the album went Platinum, giving Destiny's Child a solid stepping stone on their way to stardom. The album didn't produce any more hits, but their next one, The Writing's On The Wall, was huge. Its first single was the #1 "Bills, Bills, Bills"; they continued their affinity for songs titled with a repeated word in "Jumpin' Jumpin'," another hit from the album.
