"No Questions Asked" is a rock song performed by British-American music group Fleetwood Mac. Stevie Nicks wrote the lyrics around an instrumental track created by Kelly Johnston, and the song was produced by Greg Ladanyi.[1] It was the first Fleetwood Mac song along with "As Long as You Follow to feature Billy Burnette and Rick Vito.[2]
"Paper Doll", another song penned by Nicks, was originally slated to appear on the Greatest Hits compilation, but the band pulled it in favor of "No Questions Asked".[3] The song received airplay on US album oriented rock stations beginning in November 1988[4] and began to appear on national airplay charts from Radio & Records and Billboard the following month.[5][6] In the UK, "No Questions Asked" was issued as the B-side to the 1989 re-release of "Hold Me".[7]
