Alternative cover

UK release

"No Fool, No More" is a song by American female group En Vogue. It was written by Diane Warren and recorded for the soundtrack to the romantic drama film Why Do Fools Fall in Love (1998), while production was helmed by Big Baby and Sugar Mike. The song was released as the album's lead single and reached the top 40 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and the New Zealand Singles Chart. "No Fool, No More" was later included on their 1998 hits compilation album Best of En Vogue.

Critical reception

Larry Flick of Billboard wrote, "The soundtrack to "Why Do Fools Fall In Love ?" spawns a potential smash in the form of this smooth slow jam. The members of En Vogue are at their harmonious best here—no surprise, right? Considering the lackluster tone of much of the group's last album, "EV3", it kinda is. The members have clearly rediscovered their groove, and their chemistry is now stronger than ever. Producers Big Baby and Sugar Mike dress the ladies in subtle retro-funk instrumentation, keeping the gimmicks to a bare minimum. One listen to this gorgeous recording is simply not enough. You have to go back and listen to it again and again and again."^[1]

Commercial reception

The song became a minor pop and R&B hit in the US, UK, and New Zealand. The single peaked in the Top 40 on Billboard's Hot R&B Songs, Hot 100 at #57, and Top 40 on New Zealand Top Singles chart. In 1998, the award-winning group promoted the song by performing on several day time talk shows, including The Rosie O'Donnell Show, The Oprah Winfrey Show and The Tonight Show.^[2]
