〈沒有愛〉（）是美國饒舌歌手阿姆與小韋恩合作演唱的歌曲，出自阿姆第七張錄音室專輯《好的很》，於2010年10月5日作為專輯第三支單曲在電台首播。這首歌由美國嘻哈唱片製作人製作，其副歌取樣自1993年的歌曲〈〉。〈沒有愛〉在《告示牌》百大單曲榜上排名最高时位列第23名，並在美國本土累積400萬次數位下載量，獲得美國唱片業協會4倍白金認證。《》雜誌將這首歌評為2010年最佳歌曲第八名。
歌曲的音樂錄影帶由執導，預告片於2010年9月29日在阿姆的YouTube頻道上釋出，完整版於翌日發布。錄影帶講述一個被霸凌的小男孩在聽了阿姆和小韋恩的歌後變得更加茁壯的故事。阿姆和小韋恩先後於《週六夜現場》、波纳罗音乐节等節目及活動中演唱這首歌。
製作
〈沒有愛〉由阿姆、小韋恩和共同創作，後者亦執手歌曲的製作。人聲由麥克·斯特蘭奇和瑞安·韋斯特在美國密西根州芬代爾的肖像工作室錄製。2010年8月27日，《告示牌》報導此曲將是《好的很》專輯的第三支單曲。歌曲於2010年10月5日衝擊電台，時長五分鐘，以B大調譜寫，速度為每分鐘129拍；其副歌取樣自千里達-德國籍歌手1993年的歌曲〈〉。歌詞講述過去曾讓小韋恩和阿姆失望的人，並抨擊他們的反對者。
在談到為何與小韋恩合作時，阿姆表態是鑒於上次為小韋恩的專輯《》做出〈〉一曲後。據製作人Just Blaze所說，他當初覺得原曲過於簡單，並想把他改編成「你可以真正嗨搖起來的東西」。接著他把樣本檔案給阿姆聆聽，阿姆理解其概念後就開始著手，並在兩天後錄唱了人聲鍾愛這首歌中的取樣，指出其「出色地借用了哈德威1993年的熱門單曲〈What Is Love〉中歐陸舞曲的節奏，並邀請小韋恩客串一場壯麗但乏味的饒舌。」About.com的約翰·馬西森（John Matheessen）將這首歌評為《好的很》的四首最佳曲目之一。音樂網站前音後果的溫斯頓·羅賓斯（Winston Robbins）也贊成歌曲的取樣，並稱其為專輯中最優秀的曲目之一。
"'No Love' (feat. Lil' Wayne) is an instant hip-hop darling, first because this is a collaboration between two of the hottest MCs in the game, and second because it’s a solid piece. It samples Haddaway’s 'What Is Love', more commonly known as the song that Will Ferrell and Chris Kattan loved to bob their heads to on SNL, and seamlessly uses the sample and the chorus to produce an extremely impressive and highly listenable piece."
Chart performance
"No Love" debuted on the Billboard Hot 100 at number 23 on July 10, 2010 after the release of his album Recovery and remained on the charts for 20 weeks. It re-entered the chart at number 89 reaching at number 7. The same position was reached on the UK R&B Chart on November 20, 2011, lasting 20 weeks. In Denmark, "No Love" only lasted two weeks but peaked at number 36. The song has received over a million downloads in the United States alone.
The song's success and anti-bullying message has led to many covers and remixes from rappers and producers ranging from Busta Rhymes to Ruben King.
Music video
Development
The music video was directed by American music video director Chris Robinson, who previously directed both Eminem and Lil Wayne in the "Drop the World" music video. The video began shooting in June 2010. A thirty-second teaser was released on September 29, 2010, on Eminem's official YouTube channel. It shows Eminem rapping inside of a recording studio, interlaced with scenes where a child gets bullied. Some of the music video was shot in front of a green screen. Lil Wayne's part was filmed before he was incarcerated, according to a tweet from Eminem: "We got Wayne's verse filmed before he went away luckily. Gotta shoot the rest of a 'No Love' video real soon. Keep your head up Weezy!" Simon Vozick-Levinson from Entertainment Weekly gave a similar opinion, quoting, "Bullied schoolkids of the world, take heart: You have two very powerful allies named Eminem and Lil Wayne." Website Hypebeast said that "the clip sets its focus on growing pains."
Live performances
Eminem has performed "No Love" at The Home & Home Tour with American rapper Jay-Z. The duo performed the song at the Yankee Stadium in New York City on September 13, 2010, unaccompanied by Lil Wayne. Having performed the chorus and his own verse only, Eminem spoke about his feelings during the performance: "Do not think that I don’t know where I’m at right now, I’m also honored to be on this stage in The Bronx, the birthplace of hip hop." Many profane lyrics were replaced while the rest were not said at all. They were accompanied by electric guitars, musical keyboards and drums. Eminem wore a black jacket and a cap, while Lil Wayne wore a white T-shirt. The performance also included other songs by each of the artists, such as "6 Foot 7 Foot" performed by Lil Wayne and "Won't Back Down" performed by Eminem. He wore a black Bad Meets Evil T-shirt and camouflage shorts. He also performed songs with Royce da 5'9". The performance was widely praised. According to James Montgomery of MTV News, "It's the same renewed vigor Eminem has displayed on his most-recent efforts." Magazine The Hollywood Reporter described the performance: "Eminem was in top form, fast and angry as he stalked the stage in long camouflage shorts and a black t-shirt."
