"No Enemiesz" is a song by Canadian recording artist Kiesza from her debut studio album, Sound of a Woman (2014). Lokal Legend Records will release the song as the third single from the album in the United Kingdom on November 10, 2014. Kiesza co-wrote "No Enemiesz" with the track's producer Rami Samir Afuni. A deep house and Eurodance song, "No Enemiesz" consists of a prominent retro house beat, bleary bass and a bouncy, grinding groove.
Upon its release, "No Enemiesz" was acclaimed by music critics, who praised the track's euphoric chorus and '90s-inspired production. Some went on to deem the single as Kiesza's best to-date and compared it to Robyn and Kleerup's "With Every Heartbeat" (2007). Kiesza has performed the song at gigs in the United Kingdom, the United States and Germany, in which she incorporated a dance routine reminiscent of Madonna's "Vogue" (1990).
"No Enemiesz" was written by Kiesza and Rami Samir Afuni, and produced by the latter. On September 12, 2014 Kiesza posted a snippet of the song on her Facebook page, the full version of the song then leaked online hours before its premiere on Annie Mac's BBC Radio 1 show that evening. Prior to its premiere, Kiesza performed "No Enemiesz" live on several occasions since June 4, 2014, where it became recognized as a "fan favorite". The track was uploaded to Kiesza's Vevo page on September 17, 2014. It was released on November 17, 2014 as the third single from Kiesza's debut album, Sound of a Woman (2014).
"No Enemiesz" is a deep houseEurodance song, which runs for a duration of three minutes and 18 seconds. It consists of a prominent retro house beat, bleary bass and a bouncy, grinding groove. The song features the chorus "If we could all fall in love together / We'd have no enemies" which is convicted with a sense of euphoria while disintegrating into a beat-heavy frenzy. "No Enemiesz" was described by Fuse journalist Hillary Hughes as a "dance anthem that embraces Kiesza's trademark '90s house vibes". Musically, "No Enemiesz" has been likened to the most successful dance songs of the early-to-mid-1990s, in addition to Robyn and Kleerup's "With Every Heartbeat" (2007).
