Afterwards she retired (temporarily) from music business to give birth to a baby girl in March 2001. While bringing up her daughter Teja, Jamelia made plans for a comeback and in 2003 her sophomore album Thank You was released. The album went top 5 in the UK and sold over half a million copies. It featured her fifth top 40 hit, "Superstar", a cover of Danish singer Christine Milton's song, which gave her international success in Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The single shot to #1 in Australia and was certified "platinum". Follow up single “Thank You” went to number 2 in the UK and the track “See It In A Boy’s Eyes” which was co-written with Coldplay frontman Chris Martin also entered the top 5.
That year Jamelia won a record breaking three MOBO awards, winning all of the awards that she was nominated for and she was also one of the nominees for the Mercury Music Prize which celebrates the best of British music.
In the autumn of 2004 she also was asked to contribute to the Band Aid 20 single "Do They Know It's Christmas?". She had a big role in the song, singing with fellow British singer Will Young. She also recorded the theme song for the second Bridget Jones movie, a cover of Sam Brown’s song “Stop”. Like her previous songs this also went top 10.
Her third album, "Walk With Me" is out in the shops now, and features the hit singles "Something About You" and "Beware Of The Dog", which samples 'Personal Jesus' by Depeche Mode.

Jamelia's song 'No More' is a powerful anthem that tells a story of recovery, strength, and dignity. The repeated refrain of 'no more' provides a forceful statement of intent, while the verses detail the pain and hurt that the singer has endured at the hands of a former partner. The song's message is clear - the singer is done with the relationship, and she is taking back control of her life.
In the first verse, the singer proclaims that she is done with trouble and tears over her ex. She no longer wants to be broken inside or subjected to hurt and lies. In the second verse, she asserts that she is no longer waiting up all night or covering up her ex's crimes. She has made up her mind to move on and is walking away with her dignity intact. The chorus is a rallying cry for anyone who has been hurt in a relationship - no more pain, no more wasted love, and no more putting up with bad behavior.
The bridge provides a moment of reflection for the singer, recognizing the love that was wasted and the pain that was endured. However, there is no self-pity here - the declaration of 'no more' rings out once again, a reminder that the singer has made a conscious decision to leave the past behind and move on. The final verse defies the ex's belief that he will come back someday, declaring that the singer will not give him a second chance.
Overall, 'No More' is a stirring declaration of independence and strength. It speaks to anyone who has ever been hurt or mistreated in a relationship, reminding them that they have the power to take control and claim back their dignity.
