"No Good 4 Me" interpolates the Prodigy's "No Good (Start the Dance)", which itself samples Kelly Charles' "You're No Good for Me", [2] in which the chorus of this song is sung by Lisa Maffia in "No Good 4 Me".

Critical reception

NME described “No Good 4 Me” as taking “the vocal of Liam Howlett’s helium rave epic ‘No Good (Start The Dance)’ back into the Top Ten,” underlining how the single’s re-contextualised hook drove its mainstream impact. [3] The Guardian cast the track as a purposely tougher, Prodigy-leaning outlier within garage, calling it a “rough-edged groove” and suggesting its crossover appeal would likely deliver a Top-10 result.
