"Nobody but You" is a song recorded by American singers Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani for the former's fifth compilation album, Fully Loaded: God's Country (2019). It was produced by Scott Hendricks and written by Ross Copperman, Shane McAnally, Josh Osborne, and Tommy Lee James. Following "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" (2016) and "You Make It Feel Like Christmas" (2017), "Nobody but You" marks Shelton and Stefani's third collaboration. The song was first revealed in October 2019, although Stefani's contributions remained a secret until a week prior to its release in December of the same year. It was sent to United States country music radio outlets by Warner on January 21, 2020, becoming the third single from the parent album. Promotional acoustic and live versions of the song were released to the public in March and June 2020, respectively.
"Nobody but You" is a country and pop power ballad duet. A love song, Shelton described the song as honest and related it to his relationship with Stefani. Music reviewers gave positive feedback to the song, calling it romantic and heartfelt. Particular praise was aimed at Shelton and Stefani's chemistry, and the song itself received a nomination for the American Music Award for Favorite Country Song at the 2020 ceremony. In the US, the song peaked at number 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached the top spot on the Digital Songs chart, becoming the second and third number one entry for Shelton and Stefani, respectively. The song also charted in Canada and on the ARIA digital component chart in Australia. It has sold more than 288,000 copies in the US in 2020 alone and was the 8th best-selling digital single of the year. It was certified Platinum in both the US and Canada.
Sophie Muller directed the song's accompanying music video, her second joint collaboration with Shelton and Stefani. It serves as a glimpse of the couple's day-to-day life, featuring scenes of them cuddling, eating food at a diner, and visiting the construction site of Shelton's ranch in Tishomingo, Oklahoma. The video was described as romantic and adorable by critics, and received the Collaborative Video of the Year accolade at the 2020 CMT Music Awards. Other promotional music videos for the acoustic and live versions of the song were created, with filming limited to Shelton's ranch due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Shelton and Stefani have performed "Nobody but You" during multiple televised appearances, including at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards and on the Academy of Country Music's TV special ACM Presents: Our Country (2020). It was also performed at Shelton's Encore Drive-In Nights show in July 2020 and as a surprise during the final leg of Stefani's Just a Girl concert residency in Las Vegas.
