The song was released as the album's second single in January/April 2003 and entered the top twenty on the majority of the charts it appeared on. Although it failed to match the success of its predecessor "Stole", "Can't Nobody" reached number 20 on the composite World Singles Official Top 100 chart.

[edit] Song information

"Can't Nobody" was the first song producer and songwriter Rich Harrison worked on through his deal with Sony and the first song ever finished with a Destiny's Child member. In contrast to his own production style and major parts of Simply Deep - which generally featured mid-tempo tracks and wide influences by Pop and Rock music - the track includes a beat driven but poppy and radio-friendly instrumental, involving elements from "Let's Get Small", a song written by Robert Reed and Tony Fisher and performed by Trouble Funk.

In the lyrics, Rowland describes an infatuation as she tries to convince the object of desire of her charms and advantages, singing lines such as: "I'm so real, so soft to touch, my love my kiss so sweet, glorious ..."

Even though Rowland didn't perform the single during official promo appearances and the video received minor airplay only, "Can't Nobody" did comparatively well on the charts. In Europe and Australia the Simply Deep single once again saw success, entering the top twenty on the majority of the charts it appeared on, reaching number 5 on the UK singles chart and #13 on the Australian ARIA chart. In the United States the song received less to no commercial response, when it debuted and peaked at #97 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100 and #72 on the U.S. Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks.
