"Nothin' at All" is a song by American rock band Heart from their eponymous eighth studio album (1985). It was released on April 3, 1986, as the album's fourth single.[3] The song was written by pop and musical theatre composer Mark Mueller.
The single peaked at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming the band's ninth top-10 entry, as well as the fourth top-ten single from the parent album.[4] Additionally, it peaked at number 38 on the UK Singles Chart in 1988, after reaching number 76 two years earlier during its original release.[5]
Musically, the track represents an embrace of the new wave and power pop styles of radio-friendly rock songs of the early-to-mid-1980s (akin to contemporary U.S. groups such as the Cars) with elements such as strident keyboard playing mixed with an emphasis on rhythm guitar. This artistic choice was a softening from the heavier sound of earlier releases by Heart that were closer to hard rock while retaining the same melodramatic balladry driven songwriting.[1]
