"No Drug Like Me" is a 1980s-influenced
synth-pop ballad. It has been described as "nocturnal", "low-key", "darker and more viscous" than the rest of Jepsen's repertoire. It was written in the late evening of a recording session and according to Jepsen, it "came up very easily". 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. 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. The lyrics equate being in love with Jepsen to
drug intoxication. 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". "No Drug Like Me" was released alongside "
Now That I Found You" as a
double A-side on February 27, 2019. Jepsen decided to release the two very different songs at the same time to demonstrate a spectrum of her new album,
Dedicated. ==Critical reception==
