No More Mistakes

"No More Mistakes" is a single by Kuboian rapper Sweet 16, serving as the third single from her self-titled debut studio album. The song was co-written by Elise Revie and Rikard Fulton, and features vocals from fellow rapper Little Bee. It was released on 4th May 2003.

Background
After the success of her previous self-titled single, Sweet 16 wanted to record a song that sounded similar to Dream's 2001 single "This Is Me", so Elise Revie and Rikard Fulton composed a slower R&B instrumental. Fulton wrote the song's chorus whilst Revie helped Sweet 16 write the verses.

The lyrics of "No More Mistakes" are about a homosexual girl who has been pretending to be straight but decides it is time to officially come out to her friends and family. Sweet 16, who had been struggling with her sexual orientation at the time, was inspired by t.A.t.U's single "All The Things She Said", though she wanted to avoid writing lyrics that were too overt or sexual in order to prevent the song from facing similar controversies.

Fulton originally wrote the chorus without the pro-LGBT subject in mind and when hearing Sweet 16's verses, he believed she was instead rapping about trying to rekindle a relationship with a boy. When talking about the song in May 2023, Sweet 16 admitted that she avoided telling Fulton about the subject of the lyrics over fears he would tell her to change them. When the song was released worldwide, most international audiences seemingly did not notice that the lyrics were about coming out. She also expressed some resentment over the fact that she had to be "sneaky" when writing the lyrics in order for the song to be played in international markets.

"No More Mistakes" is the first song by Sweet 16 to feature a guest artist, as the song's chorus and pre-chorus are sung by Little Bee. Sweet 16 was originally hoping to get actress Ankia Tineo to sing said parts but eventually gave the role to Little Bee instead due to her showing interest in the song and its subject matter.

The song is in the key of E flat major and has a tempo of 75 beats per minute.
