Shontelle stated that the album would be experimental and that she wanted to change her original sound for the record.While the title 'No Gravity' symbolises a mantra, Shontelle states she has adapted to her life and to her career, to motivate herself to keep climbing higher and to have nothing hold her down or hold her back. Shontelle collaborated with Bruno Mars, Tony Kanal and Darkchild among others for the record. In the first week of release, ‘No Gravity’ placed at number eighty-one on the ‘Billboard’ 200, selling 7,000 copies. Later that year Shontelle would co-write Rihanna's song "Man Down" from her fifth studio album, ‘Loud’ (2010).
