Composition and critical reception
"No Air" is a pop[2] and R&B song[3] written by James Fauntleroy II, Steven Russell, Erik “Blu2th” Griggs, Harvey Mason Jr., and Damon Thomas. The song was originally written for a male singer, but after Jordin Sparks heard the song and expressed interest in the song, Mason agreed to give it to Sparks on the condition that they make it an event duet record, and suggested Chris Brown as a singing partner.[4]
Having the chord progression of F♯-E-G♯m-B, the song is written in the key of F♯ Mixolydian. Its time signature is of common time. Both Sparks' and Brown's vocals range from the note of F♯3 to the note of F♯5.[5] Nick Levine of Digital Spy called the song "an R&B power ballad" and said it makes "full use of her impressive set of pipes."[3] Bill Lamb of About.com wrote "from the kickoff of Jordin's echoey vocals it sounds like "No Air" is so light and weepy it needs special effects and production tricks to cover up the fact that there really is not much of a song here.[6] Steve Perkins of BBC Music awarded the song five stars and said "by the time ["No Air"] hits the final stretch, the title actually seems rather prophetic, since Jordin and Chris are yodelling away at the tops of their voices to the extent that you wonder how they're concealing their need to gasp for big lung bucketfuls of precious oxygen every thirty seconds."[7]
The song was nominated at the 2008 Teen Choice Awards, in the categories of "Choice Love Song" and "Choice Hook-Up", winning the second award.[8] More nominations included Best Pop Collaboration with Vocals at the 51st Grammy Awards,[9] a nomination for the "Outstanding Duo, Group or Collaboration Award" at the 40th NAACP Image Awards[10] and a nomination for "Best Collaboration" at the 2009 MTV Australia Awards.[11] It also garnered two nominations at the 35th People's Choice Awards for "Favorite Pop Song" and "Favorite Combined Forces", winning the second award.[12] In 2008, Billboard ranked the song twenty-seventh on a special The 40 Biggest Duets of All Time listing.[13]
Chart performance
In the United States, "No Air" entered the Billboard Hot 100 at number ninety-five on the week dated January 19, 2008.[14] After weeks of climbing the chart, the song reached a peak of number three, becoming Sparks' highest-charting single to date.[15] It also became her first single to enter the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, where it peaked at number four.[16] "No Air" peaked the highest on the Pop Songs airplay chart, where it reached number two.[17] The song was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA),[18] making Sparks the first American Idol contestant to reach the three million mark.[19] It has sold 3,596,000 copies in the US as of April 2014.[20]
In the United Kingdom, the song debuted at number fifty-eight on the UK Singles Chart on April 20, 2008 – for the week ending date April 26, 2008 – before dropping twenty-seven places to number eighty-five the next week. In its sixth week on the chart, "No Air" reached its peak position of number three on the chart.[21]
It also reached number three on the Canadian Hot 100.[22] In Australia, the song reached number one in its fifth week on the chart. It held the position for a total of four weeks before losing the position to Katy Perry's "I Kissed a Girl".[23] The song has since been certified platinum by the Australian Recording Industry Association (ARIA) for shipments of 70,000 units.[24] In New Zealand, "No Air" entered the Top 40 chart at number six on the week dated March 10, 2008.[25] The following week the song peaked at number one on the week dated March 17, 2008, becoming Sparks' first number one single in that country and stayed atop the chart for seven consecutive weeks.[26] the single was certified platinum on the week dated April 14, 2008, after only 6 weeks on the chart. The single spent 19 weeks on the chart and has since been certified double platinum by the Recording Industry Association of New Zealand (RIANZ), for shipments of 30,000 units.[27][28][29]
Music video
The song's music video was directed by Chris Robinson[30] and shot in New York City.[31] The video leaked online on February 20, 2008.[32]
It begins with Sparks playing the piano in her home. Suddenly, she stops playing and makes a phone call on her cell phone, which directs her to an answering machine. The camera cuts to the phone she is presumably calling, which has been left on a counter in a steamy room. Sparks leaves a message, asking Brown to call her when he can. Her silhouetted profile is then seen on the left side against a gray background, as the song begins to play. Sparks then appears at her window drawing a heart shape on the foggy glass window, as she begins to sing the song. Brown then appears in the video wiping a foggy mirror in his bathroom, as he begins to sing his first verse. Brown's silhouetted profile is then seen entering on the right side of the gray background scene, and both their silhouetted profiles face each other. The video then cuts to Brown, who is shown putting on his jacket leaving his home, as he walks through New York City. Sparks then appears standing near the Brooklyn Bridge. She gets into her car and begins driving through the city. Meanwhile, Brown still in the daytime, arrives at Sparks' home. In a climactic sequence Brown confronts Sparks by her piano and the two passionately sing the final chorus to each other. Brown then leaves, and the video ends with their two silhouettes against the gray background, pulling away from each other. The video is also intercut with scenes of Brown singing alone in a recording studio with drums, guitars, and a piano, of which he plays and at the very end when the song's over Sparks is seen sitting on the floor in her house and kneeling her head down in sadness.
At the 2008 BET Pre-Awards, "No Air" won the award for "Best Heartbreak Video".[33] It was also nominated for "Best Female Video" at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards.
