Content

The song, written by Deana Carter with Randy Scruggs, is a moderate up-tempo backed by electric guitar with occasional harpsichord fills. Its lyrics are essentially of how Carter tells her male lover that she will do anything for him:

If it's a long, long road, baby, I'll walk it
If it's a mountain high, baby, I'll cross it
If it's a deep blue sky, you know, I'll jump out in it
There's nothin' I would not do for you, there's no limit

Critical reception

Deborah Evans Price of Billboard gave a mostly favorable review saying, "Carter sounds great but would benefit from cleaner production. At times the track sounds a little too busy [...] That aside, it's still an impressive record that should re-establish Carter at country radio." [2]

Music video

Randee St. Nicholas directed the music video. In the video, Carter and her boyfriend are seen talking on the phone. Carter sings and plays her guitar in her bedroom, and is later joined by her boyfriend. The video concludes with the two crawling under the sheets of her bed and kissing, while the chorus plays. The music video began airing to CMT (Country Music Television) in early January 2003. [3]

The video became a huge success, topping the CMT Top Twenty Countdown on April 17, 2003; it was ranked by the network at number 29 on the 2008 version of their "40 Sexiest Videos." "There's No Limit" would be nominated at the 2003 CMT Flameworthy Awards for Hottest Female Video of the Year. [4] While the video has not been available on platforms such as YouTube, it is available on both Apple Music and the Internet Archive. [5] [6]

"There's No Limit" debuted on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart (then titled Hot Country Singles & Tracks) the week of October 26, 2002, at number 54, becoming her first chart entry since "Angels Working Overtime" reached number 35 in 1999.
