The song was released on 16 April 2007 digitally and 30 April 2007 physically and peaked at number forty-three on the UK singles chart. A further digital single was released on August 21, 2007 in support of her live performances at the iTunes festival in July, 2007, containing three live tracks. The digital EP release was the first of a two-part digital single, the second being released to promote the third single from Music City Soul, "The Queen of Starting Over". Background and production"No Man's Land" was written by Beverley Knight with Jimmy Hogarth and Eg White and produced by Jimmy Hogarth & Eg White in late 2006. The lyrics of the song reflect Knight's emotional state after the break-up of a long term relationship: "This song came about referring to my relationship, and feeling that even though I was out of the relationship, I wasn't able to put it behind me and move on to the next phase. Something which I know lots of people experience, and to me it felt like no mans land." The production is made up completely of live instruments, illustrating the organic approach Knight took in recording the song and its album, Music City Soul. On reflection of "No Man's Land", Knight noted: "That song was quite painful to write, but cathartic because once I'd written it, I thought 'I've said what I wanted to say'." Track listingCD: 1
Music videoThe music video for "No Man's Land" was shot in South Africa during February 2007 and was directed by JT, who had previously worked with Knight on the videos for "Come as You Are", "Keep This Fire Burning" and "Piece of My Heart". Set in the Hout Bay area of Cape Town, the video features Knight walking through a large open field before moving to other locations such as a park, hotel bedroom and beach. The location for the video was of special significance to Beverley as it was an area she had visited previously in connection with her charity work in bring awareness to HIV in South Africa. It was also the location of the video to her single "Shoulda Woulda Coulda", released in 2002. The video was premiered on AOL's website in late March 2007, before being released to television. Chart performance"No Man's Land" was premiered by Ken Bruce on BBC Radio 2 in March 2007 and was subsequently made "record of the week" for the week beginning March 17, 2007.[1] The following week, "No Man's Land" was added straight on to the A-list of BBC Radio 2's playlist. However the song failed to make the same impact on other radio stations, peaking at number thirty-three on the UK airplay chart. On the UK Singles Chart, "No Man's Land" peaked at number forty-three making it Knight's lowest chart position in nine years. The song's poor performance was also reflected by the fact it failed to appear in either the top forty of the download chart or the TV airplay chart. Charts
