"None of Your Love" is a song by American rapper Lil Tjay. It was first released on July 29, 2018[1] before being released to streaming services on December 4, 2020 as the third single and a bonus track from his second studio album Destined 2 Win (2021). Produced by CashMoneyAP, the song samples and interpolates "Baby" by Justin Bieber featuring Ludacris.
Background
[edit]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
[edit]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
[edit]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)."
