Background
The song is Lloyd's first single in two years. In a press release for the song, Lloyd stated, "I've waited so long for people to finally listen to my new music, which I've worked so hard for a long time, and think 'None Of My Business' is a perfect taste for what's to come - I have never been so excited in my life to present my new music."

Composition
Musically, "None of My Business" has a length of three minutes and four seconds and moves at a tempo of 134 beats per minute. It incorporates "breezy production courtesy of Hitimpulse" and lyrically features Lloyd making it "very clear that she has moved on from a former flame". During the chorus she sings, "Damn, I heard that you and her been having issues/I wish you the best, I hope that she can fix you/You'll be calling me the second that it hits you, but baby, this is none of my business." The song has been described as "sassy and charismatic".

Critical reception
Mike Nied of Idolator called the song Lloyd "at her most liberated, and she has rarely sounded better." Writing for The Guardian, Kate Solomon wrote that the "sing-songy nursery rhyme feel and breezy delivery don't hide the cutting tone", and compared it to anyone who has "spent an hour scrolling through an ex's Insta feed before sending 600 screengrabs to the group chat".
