No Fool No More
"No Fool, No More" is a song by American female group En Vogue. It was written by Diane Warren and recorded for the soundtrack to the romantic drama film '' Why Do Fools Fall in Love'' (1998), while production was helmed by Big Baby and Sugar Mike. The song was released as the album's lead single and reached the top 40 on the US Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs and the New Zealand Singles Chart. "No Fool, No More" was later included on their 1998 hits compilation album ''Best of En Vogue''. Critical reception Larry Flick of ''Billboard'' wrote, "The soundtrack to ''" Why Do Fools Fall In Love ?"'' spawns a potential smash in the form of this smooth slow jam. The members of En Vogue are at their harmonious best here—no surprise, right? Considering the lackluster tone of much of the group's last album, ''"EV3"'', it kinda is. The members have clearly rediscovered their groove, and their chemistry is now stronger than ever. Producers Big Baby and Sugar Mike dress the ladies in subtle retro-fun ...

Songs Written By Diane Warren
A song is a musical composition intended to be performed by the human voice. This is often done at distinct and fixed pitches (melodies) using patterns of sound and silence. Songs contain various forms, such as those including the repetition and variation of sections. Written words created specifically for music, or for which music is specifically created, are called lyrics. If a pre-existing poem is set to composed music in classical music it is an art song. Songs that are sung on repeated pitches without distinct contours and patterns that rise and fall are called chants. Songs composed in a simple style that are learned informally "by ear" are often referred to as folk songs. Songs that are composed for professional singers who sell their recordings or live shows to the mass market are called popular songs.
