Prior to the release of the song, Moroney teased it by posting a video of her performing a short snippet of it on her TikTok account in July 2023.[1] This clip subsequently went viral, leading her to begin including the song in her live sets. On January 11, 2025, it was announced that "No Caller ID" would be released the following week on January 19.[2] In a statement accompanying the release of the song, Moroney explained “I played this song on The Lucky Tour last fall, and I could tell my fans wanted me to release it. It feels like this song has helped my fans as much as it has helped me. By the end, there is a lot of strength and growth that I’m proud of. I am really excited for this one!”[3][4]
Moroney officially announced the song's parent album, Am I Okay? on May 3, 2024, along with the promotional single "Indifferent".[5] On the project, "No Caller ID" features as the third track.
"No Caller ID" is a country ballad that "retains the enchantingly hazy, stripped-back feel" reminiscent of songs from her debt album Lucky, such as "Georgia Girl" and "Mustang Or Me", and sees Moroney re-team with producer Kristian Bush. Sonically, it features "sweet, intricate instrumentation", including "euphonic" drums, and evocative, "yearning steel" guitar, paired with "easy-going acoustic guitar", which juxtaposes with the "melancholic edge of the lyricism".[3]
Lyrically, the song tells the story of a woman who has recently gotten over a toxic ex and moved onto a new, healthier relationship. As Moroney details how much progress she is made, highlighted by positive therapy sessions and her friends no longer feeling the need to constantly check up on her, her ex begins contacting her late at night from an unknown number in an attempt to exploit her insecurities and rekindle the flame. As the song continues, Moroney theorizes that her ex is only attempting to get in touch because he is jealous that she is happy without him and because he is drunk and lonely. Despite feeling torn over whether to answer the phone, she ultimately decides to just "let it ring", declaring that he doesn't have the power to hurt her anymore.[3]
