In the United States, the track peaked at number two on the Hot Country Songs chart and number 34 on the Billboard Hot 100, marking Haim's first Hot 100 entry. The single reached the top 20 on charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, and the United Kingdom. Music critics lauded 'No Body, No Crime' for its cinematic storytelling and country production. The central character is named after Este Haim, the band's bass player. Unable to prove the husband guilty, the song's narrator, a dear friend of Este, avenges her friend's death by murdering the husband, erases key evidences, and indirectly frames the mistress, who herself suspects the narrator. A murder ballad, it has noir-inspired lyrics about a fictional character Este, who is killed by her husband after she discovers his infidelity. Produced by Swift and Aaron Dessner, 'No Body, No Crime' has a country production, however it uses a pure western composition as opposed to the country rock and pop rock genres Swift has been known for. It was released to US country radio by Republic and MCA Nashville on January 11, 2021, as a single from Swift's ninth studio album Evermore (2020). ' No Body, No Crime' (stylized in all lowercase) is a song written and recorded by American singer-songwriter Taylor Swift, featuring guest vocals from American rock band Haim.
