Composition

NME stated that the song features nods to "Stone Cold Crazy" by Queen and "Ace of Spades" by Motörhead.[4]

Foo Fighters bassist Nate Mendel said that recording was "challenging" for him as the band approached things differently by "constructing things from the ground up" as opposed to their usual method of "recording them more live to tape and just kind of sitting in a room and playing."[5]

Live performances

Along with single "Waiting on a War", Foo Fighters' first live performance of "No Son of Mine" was on Jimmy Kimmel Live! on January 14, 2021.[6]
