“You’re No Good” is a song written by Clint Ballard Jr., first performed by Dee Dee Warwick for Jubilee Records in 1963 with production by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller.

Linda Ronstadt began performing “You’re No Good” to close her live shows in early 1973, after her band member Kenny Edwards suggested it. She first included it in her setlist while opening for Neil Young. Ronstadt gave an early televised performance of “You’re No Good” on an episode of The Midnight Special, broadcast December 21, 1973.

Linda Ronstadt’s version of “You’re No Good” became the song’s most successful cover. The track ascended to number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart dated February 15, 1975, her only song to reach that position. “You’re No Good” was also an international hit for Ronstadt, reaching number 15 in Australia, number 17 in the Netherlands, and number 24 in New Zealand. The B-side of “You’re No Good”, “I Can’t Help It (If I’m Still in Love with You),” originally sung by Hank Williams, also charted and was simultaneously a number 2 C&W hit for Ronstadt. “When Will I Be Loved” was then issued as the follow-up single.
