No Type
Song Meaning

“No Type” means Rae Sremmurd don’t have a specific preference in women, only that they be attractive; as Swae Lee put it, “bad bitches are a category” spanning “Asian, Latino, black, white, tall, short” 1. The song pairs that theme with braggadocio about living large and being unselective in romance 1 3. Musically and tonally, it’s a hazy, celebratory victory lap over their newfound success 3 4 5.

The meaning

At its core, “No Type” is built around a simple, repeated declaration: Swae Lee and Slim Jxmmi aren’t loyal to any single kind of woman. In his own words, Swae Lee explained, “The song means I don’t have no type. To us, bad bitches are a category. It’s not even a type. You got Asian, Latino, black, white, tall, short, we like all of them. As long as they bad bitches” 1. That quote reframes the hook (“Bad bitches is the only thing that I like”) not as pickiness but as the opposite: attractiveness and confidence, not race or body type, is the only qualifier that matters to them.

That theme plays out across the verses, where lines like “And if you not my type, then you know I gotta keep this shit short” reinforce the idea that their standard is narrow in criteria (looks, energy) but wide in who can meet it. Reviewers have described the track more broadly as being “about not being picky about women,” with “their only criteria” being that “the girl looks good” 1.

The romantic theme is inseparable from the song’s larger flex. Critics have characterized “No Type” as full of “braggadocious lifestyle bars about how these guys are living much better than you and are happily getting with many kinds of women” 3, and lines about not checking prices, spending money how they like, and rolling through nights in a chopped Porsche reinforce that the “no type” mentality is really an extension of their success: they can have whoever they want because they’ve made it.

Sonically and emotionally, the song has been read as both hazy and joyous. One writer noted it arrived “at the tail end of rap’s MDMA phase,” giving it “a dazed, hallucinatory quality” that nonetheless doesn’t dampen “the celebratory feeling” 3. Others have called it “a warm and spacious little song about exulting in your success” 4, and praised how the duo “make having one of the biggest songs of the summer look as fun as it sounds” 5. Interestingly, one take also points to a loneliness underneath the party atmosphere, suggesting “part of the appeal of ‘No Type’ is how lonely it sounds” 2, hinting that beneath the boasting and the parade of women, there’s an isolation to a lifestyle defined by having “no type” and no lasting attachment.

Taken together, “No Type” functions as both a mission statement about attraction (looks and confidence over any fixed “type”) and a victory lap for two brothers who, by 2015, had the money and status to live exactly how they wanted, “every night.”
