Contents

Background

Lil Tjay originally uploaded the song on YouTube in July 2018, but it was removed due to sample clearance issues. He later teased the song in 2019. [2] In 2020, he announced the sample was cleared and officially released the song on streaming services. [3]

Composition

A pop-leaning song, [3] "None of Your Love" finds Lil Tjay reflecting on a girl who initially refused him and only wanted his love after he became famous, [4] [5] as well as his related heartbreak, moving on, his time spent in jail and newfound fame. [6] He performs through a layer of Auto-Tune and interpolates the second verse of "Baby" in the pre-chorus, [5]

Critical reception

Pitchfork wrote of the song, "The A Boogie influence is strong, but there's an energy about him, and a youthful pettiness that already makes Tjay feel more of a complete artist with a three-dimensional personality." [7] Farah Idrees of Earmilk remarked, "Tjay's melodic genius bodies the track. The hook is a melodic emulation of Justin Bieber's 'Baby' (unexpected yet brilliant)."
