"Nobody" is the debut single by Welsh reggae metal band Skindred, released in 2005 from the band's debut album Babylon. It peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Mainstream Rock Tracks chart and number 23 on its Modern Rock Tracks chart.[1]
"Nobody" was one of the first Skindred songs written after the dissolution of Dub War, with bassist Daniel Pugsley coming up with the song's main idea. In an interview with Metal Hammer, vocalist Benji Webbe recalled:
The song's inclusion on Babylon was a point of contention between Webbe and producer Howard Benson, with Benson wanting to delete the song entirely after a recording session.
The music video shows the band playing with a crowd around them. The people in the crowd are dancing in different styles. As the song goes on the crowd gets closer and closer to the band until there is a moshpit while the band plays in the pit.
The song saw a resurgence in popularity in early 2023 when it became part of a dance trend on TikTok. Benji Webbe tried the dance, saying "that shit ain't easy."[2]
