"Nobody" is a song by British singer-songwriter Shara Nelson, released in May 1994 as the fifth single from her first solo album, What Silence Knows (1993), through Cooltempo Records. The song peaked at number 49 on the UK Singles Chart and number 16 on the UK Dance Singles Chart.

Critical reception

Pan-European magazine Music & Media wrote, "The singles taken from What Silence Knows are innumerable. But still with this neo soul track one doesn't have the idea of listening to a leftover, proving the depth of the album." Nilou Panahpour from Rolling Stones remarked, "Her moody, sensuous soprano set against the thumping beats and ominous strings lends her words dramatic force." Jonathan Bernstein from Spin felt a "forbidding tone is established" on the song, as the opening track of the album.
