Sara Anderson of AOL Radio Blog mentioned the song, saying, "Opening with a haunting piano melody, by 1:08 'Perfect Nightmare' turns into to poppy, club-driven anthem, as Shontelle struggles to break free from a damaging relationship." Robbie Dow of Idolator said, "And while she can't seem to shake the pesky gent she describes in the tune, we're finding Shon's latest to be equally irresistible. " Perfect Nightmare" was sent to US radio on August 31, 2010, as the album's second single. A music video was filmed for the single and released in March 2010. It was to be released in the United Kingdom, by digital download, on September 13, 2010. The single has reached number thirteen on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Shontelle's most successful single to date. " Impossible" was released as the lead single from the album on February 9, 2010, for digital download, but failed to garner success until May 2010. She is also scheduled to perform with former American Idol runner-up, David Archuleta at WLAN FM's 'Birthday Barndance' on September 24, 2010, at the Pullo Centre. She was featured on Beatweek 's eighty-first issue. She will also be Kevin Rudolf's opening act on his upcoming To The Sky Tour. Via her Facebook account, Shontelle released five songs from No Gravity. A viral three-part series, Uncovered, began on June 22, 2010, and follows Shontelle in promotion for No Gravity.
Shontelle has begun promoting the album with live performances and promotion on her website, ShontelleMusic. There has to be no gravity, so I can float higher and higher!" Promotion I basically thought 'I really can't let anything stand in my way I can't let anything stop me from rising to the top I can't have anything holding me down or holding me back. 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".
