"Nobody Knows" is a 2011 song by Slovak recording artist Celeste Buckingham, distributed by Universal. Co-written and co-produced by herself along with Andrej Hruška and Martin Šrámek, it was pre-released on November 7, 2011 as the second forerunner of the singer's then upcoming studio album Don't Look Back (2012), which followed a few months later.
Initially, the composition was specifically designed for the one-off compilation F84 (2011), performed by a number of her fellow recording artists, which as the first such collaborative effort in its country of origin helped raise awareness of those with autism.[1] In addition to, the song was attached to her own full-length output, appearing as the album's opener, too.
In favor being more unconventional and electronic, the work was a radical change in comparison to her previously established sound as evident on "Blue Guitar". Unlike its predecessor, "Nobody Knows" presented a downbeat R&B-oriented sound featuring elements including trip hop, electronica and some of techno riffs. Lyrically, the song deals with issues related to darkness, loneliness and despair.
As such, the final result received from mixed to positive reviews from music journalists with most of them criticizing its presence on the singer's debut set. Nonetheless, the song did enjoy a considerable success becoming a radio "favorite" in both territories. While in her homebase country it achieved a top-five status within domestic outputs (at number four), on the similar component chart effective for Czech Republic the single reached at number seven; making it the Buckingham's first charter.
The song's accompanying music video directed by Braňo Vincze,[2] was premiered on the local music channel MTV on March 1, 2012.
