"You're No Good for Me" is a house song by American singer Kelly Charles that was released as a single on Next Plateau Records in 1987. The song's hook "You're no good for me, I don't need nobody / Don't need no one that's no good for me" has been sampled numerous times by artists such as Hithouse, Oxide & Neutrino, Plan B and The Prodigy who had a hit single in 1994 with "No Good (Start the Dance)".
The song was written by James Bratton and Kelly Charles and was produced by Bratton and Dolores Drewry at Alpha Recording in Teaneck, New Jersey. It was released as a single in 1987 on Next Plateau Records in the United States and on London Records in the United Kingdom.
Dutch disc jockey and producer Hithouse's single "Jack to the Sound of the Underground" was the first dance record to sample "You're No Good for Me" in 1988. The song peaked at number 14 on the UK Singles Chart. British electronic group The Prodigy sampled the song for their 1994 hit single "No Good (Start the Dance)".
In 2000 British UK garage duo Oxide & Neutrino interpolated "You're No Good for Me" on their second single "No Good 4 Me", which was taken from their debut album Execute (2001). The song features vocals from fellow So Solid Crew members Megaman, Romeo and Lisa Maffia and also contains elements from "No Good (Start the Dance)" by The Prodigy. The single peaked at No. 6 on the UK Singles Chart and was also certified Silver by the BPI for sales of over 200,000 units.
