Background and composition
editLauv 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.’"[2]
"There's No Way" is a "flirtatious" bubblegum pop[3] 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.[4] A love song, it has been described as a "call-and-response tale of romantic feelings."[5] Michaels described the song as being “about wanting to be with someone, but sometimes the timing is wrong.”[2]
Critical reception
editRobin Murray of Clash called the song a "beautiful new single."[6]
