"No Lookin' Back" is a song written by Michael McDonald, Kenny Loggins and Ed Sanford. The best-known version was recorded by American recording artist Michael McDonald and is the first single from his second solo studio album of the same name.
Cashbox described "No Lookin' Back" as "harder rocking" than some of McDonald's previous singles, with a "fast-pace beat and tastefully placed keyboard and guitar fills". The song was included on the soundtrack to the crime drama film Thelma & Louise (1991), starring Susan Sarandon and Geena Davis.
