"No More Words" opened the account for Love Life, Berlin's third album, arriving as its lead single on February 27, 1984, and it wraps the band's synth-pop in a gleaming finish courtesy of Giorgio Moroder, who produced it with Richie Zito. John Crawford wrote it, and it gave the band their first top-40 hit on the Hot 100, peaking at 23 that May.
The seven-inch carried "Rumor of Love" on its flip, while the 12-inch paired it with "Dancing in Berlin", with Moroder dance remixes of both. Evan English and Paul Goldman shot a video casting the band as a gang of bank robbers, complete with a Bonnie and Clyde-style car chase and shootout. It also landed in the 1985 film Vision Quest, and that year it resurfaced in the States as the B-side of Madonna's "Crazy for You", another song from the film.
