"No Reason" was the third single Grinspoon pulled from New Detention, their third studio album, following "Lost Control" out the door on Universal in 2002. Phil McKellar handled the whole job, producing, recording and mixing it, with Blair Simmons and Mitch Willard assisting, and the writing credit goes to the band as a unit.

It's post-grunge with the volume up and the hooks out front, and it led a split life: it stalled at 62 on the ARIA singles chart, but Triple J's listeners had other ideas and voted it into the station's Hottest 100 for 2002.
