Critical reception Robert Copsey of gave the song a positive review stating, 'of course, making such a decision based on his victory single – a cover of Shontelle's 2010 hit 'Impossible' – is a futile exercise. The track, which was once sidelined for former finalist, has been drained of its R&B sassiness and re-worked into a swooping ballad, saved only by Arthur's quivering and gutsy vocal. Fortunately for him, at this stage that's the only bit that matters.' He gave the song three out of five stars.

It's an unfortunate state of affairs when, as an artist, one of your best songs is better known for being performed by a winner from a TV talent show (and sold more in that form too). But unfortunately for Shontelle, that's the case. You may remember that Shontelle's impeccable R&B earworm 'Impossible' was released by problematic 2012 X Factor winner James Arthur.

Arthur's rendition of the track, a swooping power ballad, shifted over 1 million copies in the UK, outselling Shontelle's original by a mile. Shontelle's breakout hit, 'T Shirt', wasn't huge in America (it peaked just inside the Top 40), but did manage to climb the charts in the UK, landing at number six. Despite this, her debut album, Shontelligence, failed to do much commercially and it received middling reviews critically. This led to her label re-releasing the collection with a new song, 'Stuck With Each Other'. However, this also failed to perform commercially. Unperturbed, Shontelle soldiered on with a follow-up record, No Gravity, in 2010, which included 'Impossible', her highest-charting song in the US. Speaking to J-14 about the song, Shontelle said, 'I knew that there was no song out there for heartbroken people.

I just wanted to put a song out that gave people hope – things may not work out the way you want them to, but you can move past it and everything is gonna be okay.' Despite the nice sentiments and the high charting single, No Gravity also met mixed reviews from critics, with some chastising the album for being bland, faceless and unremarkable. Similarly, the album charted at a disappointing 81 on the Billboard 200, dropping out of the chart just a week after its release. On the bright side, it's sold at least 100,000 copies more than Shontelligence in America.

While rumours of a re-release (again) began to circulate, during a show at The Canal Room, New York in 2011, Shontelle revealed to the audience that she had actually begun work on her third LP. While both Shontelligence and No Gravity were released through Universal Motown, Shontelle revealed that she had parted ways with that label and was set to release her untitled third album through Universal Republic.
