"No No No" is an R&B song performed by American group Destiny's Child for their debut studio album Destiny's Child (1998). The song was produced by Vincent Herbert, Rob Fusari and Wyclef Jean and received a positive reception from music critics. The original version (Part 1) and its remix featuring Wyclef Jean (Part 2) was released as the group's debut single in the fourth quarter of 1997 and reached the top in the United States, where it was certified platinum. It was the first single for the group, worldwide, but the second single for the group in the UK, after With Me. The remix is based around a sample of Love Unlimited Orchestra's "Strange, Games and Things."

[edit] Music video

In the video for "Part 2", directed by Darren Grant, Wyclef Jean plays his guitar as Destiny's Child sings along. When he stops, he says to the group, "All we need to do is drop a fat beat for the clubs." The group begins a choreographed dance in a large room. Wyclef Jean also makes an appearance in a room next to the room where the group is.

In 1998, a new video, also directed by Darren Grant, was created to promote "Part 1". In the clip, Wyclef and the group are at a nightclub. The clip begins with Wyclef on the dance floor, announcing to give a big round of applause for the group. Following the announcement, he returns to his seat, and the group comes on and begins a choreographed dance.
