Speaking about the title in August 2010 to UK urban writer Pete Lewis of Blues & Soul, Shontelle explained: "'No Gravity' became almost like this mantra that I adopted to my life and to the whole project. But when their project was delayed the song's writers, The Jackie Boyz, Bruno Mars and Philip Lawrence, offered it to Shontelle because technically the song didn't belong to Nina Sky.
Beatweek described the song as something which "threatens to be a ballad for its first minute, but ultimately explodes into a dance-friendly number." The song "DJ Made Me Do It" was originally intended for twin sisters, Nina Sky, who recorded the song for their second album. She said he is someone who she "always wanted to work with", and that the studio sessions ultimately generated what is about to become the album's second single, "Perfect Nightmare". The late sessions with producer Rodney Jerkins, made one of Shontelle's dreams come true. The album was delayed from its original August 24 release date to September 14 (later September 21) in order for Shontelle to collaborate with Darkchild. Shontelle stated that the album would be experimental and rock-influenced and described the overall sound as "well-balanced". However it was revealed in August 2011, that Shontelle was working on her third studio album. In May 2011, according to a post on Shontelle's official Facebook page, the album was due for re-release in 2011. The album debuted at number eighty-one before falling off the chart the following week. A second single, " Perfect Nightmare", was sent to US radio on August 31, 2010. It has been preceded by the lead single " Impossible", which was released on February 9, 2010, and reached number thirteen on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Initially scheduled for an August 2010 release the album had been in production since August 2009 and was pushed back by one month to include additional recording sessions with Rodney Jerkins. No Gravity is the second studio album by Bajan recording artist Shontelle, released on Septemby SRC Records.
