There's No Way (Lauv song)

"There’s No Way" is a song recorded by American singer-songwriter Lauv featuring American singer-songwriter Julia Michaels. It was released on September 27, 2018.

Background and composition
Lauv described the process of creating "There's No Way", stating: "The first time [me and Michaels] met we didn’t even write a song, we just talked about life and emo bands and stuff. A few days later me, her, Justin Tranter and Ian Kirkpatrick got into the room and wrote ‘There’s No Way.’"

"There's No Way" is a "flirtatious" bubblegum pop song with a length of two minutes and fifty four seconds. It is in the key of D major and moves at a tempo of 147 beats per minute. A love song, it has been described as a "call-and-response tale of romantic feelings." Michaels described the song as being “about wanting to be with someone, but sometimes the timing is wrong.”

Critical reception
Robin Murray of Clash called the song a "beautiful new single."

Music video
An accompanying music video was released to promote the single. The singers portray bandmates on tour who share an array of intimate moments, despite having their own lovers. The video ends with the two singers going their separate ways.
