"No More Rhyme" is a song by American singer-songwriter and actress Debbie Gibson. The song was released as the third single from her sophomore studio album Electric Youth (1989) only in North America, Australia, and Japan. Like all of the album, the song was solely written by Gibson. Frequent collaborator Fred Zarr produced the song. "No More Rhyme" was not issued a single in Europe, where the next single "We Could Be Together" was released instead. The song is a pop ballad.
The song had moderate success, peaking at number 17 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 13 on the Adult Contemporary chart. Internationally, the song entered the charts in Canada, Australia, and Belgium (Flanders).
The music video features Danica McKellar from the hit TV show The Wonder Years playing a cello. In the original recording of "No More Rhyme", Bob Osman played the cello.[1]
