Background
"No Drug Like Me" is an 1980s-influenced synth-pop ballad.[2][3][4] It has been described as "nocturnal", "low-key",[5] "darker and more viscous" than the rest of Jepsen's repertoire.[6] It was written in the late evening of a recording session and according to Jepsen, it "came up very easily".[1][7] Lyrically, the song was inspired by Jepsen's love for James Flannigan, who she co-wrote the song with, alongside John Hill, Jordan Palmer, and Daniel Ledinsky. It was produced by Hill and Palmer.[8] The song is about making a commitment at the beginning of a relationship and the promise to open up if the partner turns out the right one.[9] The lyrics equate being in love with Jepsen to drug intoxication.[10] The singer explained that the song "is a promise I made to love in general. That when the good stuff lands my way I'll always try to be vulnerable and brave and show all of myself".[11]
"No Drug Like Me" was released alongside "Now That I Found You" as a double A-side on February 27, 2019.[12] Jepsen decided to release the two very different songs at the same time to demonstrate a spectrum of her new album, Dedicated.[7] On June 28, Jepsen released a Mansionair remix of "No Drug Like Me" to coincide with the launch of the North American leg of The Dedicated Tour.[13]
Critical reception
Music critics Heather Phares of AllMusic highlighted "No Drug Like Me" as one of the best songs on Dedicated.[14]
