"'No More'" is a song by English singer Jamelia. It was written by Jamelia, Stuart Crichton, and Tommy Lee James for her third studio album 'Walk with Me' (2006), while production was helmed by Crichton. The song is built around a sample of "Golden Brown" (1981) by English rock band The Stranglers. Due to the inclusion of the sample, Jean-Jacques Burnel, Hugh Cornwell, Jet Black, and Dave Greenfield are also credited as songwriters. A slightly altered single mix of "No More" was released as the album's third and final single in March 2007.
