Jamelia singles chronology
"Beware of the Dog" (2006) "No More" (2007)

"No More" is the third and final single release from Jamelia's third studio album, Walk with Me. The single is notable for its sample from "Golden Brown" by The Stranglers. A slightly altered single mix was released for the actual single release.

"No More" generally received positive reviews from critics. Website Digital Spy described it as "a fantastically funky, deliciously soulful piece of pop music." ^[1]. The Guardian stated "Jamelia emerges the richer from all the thieving, less mumsy and more roguish." ^[2]. While The Times stated the track was "oddly dignified gospel." ^[3].

Like the previous two singles from Walk with Me ("Something About You" and "Beware of the Dog"), "No More" received a positive amount of airplay, being A-listed on BBC Radio 2 ^[4] and C-listed on BBC Radio 1 ^[5]. The single has so far peaked at number eleven in the UK radio airplay charts ^[6].

Despite the radio support, albeit being less than Jamelia's previous singles from Walk with Me, "No More" became her lowest charting single since "Boy Next Door" peaked at number forty-two in 2000 and only her third to miss the top forty ("So High" failed to chart altogether). "No More" peaked at number forty-three.

This single was not released internationally, except some coutries like Poland, Czech Republic and Malta. Also, it's the final single to be released via Parlophone, due to her leaving of the British Label.

Jamelia proceeds walks on top of the bed in the room, when the walls of the room collapse and pyrotechnic lights surround her as the song and video climax. ^{[9] [10]}
