"No Exit" is track number 4 from the 1999 album No Exit by Blondie. This single was released in the U.S. and parts of Europe, but not the U.K., and is a fusion of Classical, Rock and Hip-Hop music, using an interpolation of Johann Sebastian Bach's Toccata and Fugue in D minor. It features rapper Coolio exchanging raps with Debbie Harry.

The single was released in 1999 on CD, and as a special tour souvenir CD. The released CD contains remixes of "No Exit". The tour souvenir CD contains remixes of "No Exit", "Maria", "Nothing Is Real but the Girl" and a cover of Karen Young's 1978 disco hit "Hot Shot". A video was released for one of the "No Exit" remixes, which featured Inspectah Deck, U-God and Mobb Deep instead of Coolio.
