The song is the most vulnerable track on I'm Not Dead, and it talks about feelings of despair and loneliness kept hidden from the world [1]. Pink wrote the song with billymann, who she said was her Linda Perry for I'm Not Dead (Linda Perry co-wrote and produced most of the tracks on M!ssundaztood, Pink's second album) in an interview with MTV's Making the Video.[citation needed] It is a song that describes feelings that one can have but not show to the outside world. The song shows off Pink's vocals in full power.
[edit] Commercial release
The song was released as a single on November 20, 2006 in the United Kingdom and Ireland, and on January 13, 2007 in Australia; it reached number twenty-seven in all three countries. It was the first single from I'm Not Dead to miss the top five on the ARIA Singles Chart, on which it reached its peak in late January 2007, but it was very popular on radio. Two weeks before this, "Who Knew" (the second I'm Not Dead single) had re-entered the chart and "U + Ur Hand" was still on the chart, which meant that three singles by Pink were in the top fifty (as of January 21, 2007). On the UK Singles Chart it was Pink's lowest peaking single at the time, and the first I'm Not Dead single to miss the top ten.
"Nobody Knows" reached number seventeen in Germany and number seventy-four on the Eurochart Hot 100 Singles chart. Although it reached the top forty on the majority of charts on which it appeared, it was not as successful as the album's preceding singles. In Canada the song was released to radio in mid-January shortly after the success of "U + Ur Hand"; in Belgium "Dear Mr. President" was the fourth single from the album.
[edit] Music Video
The music video was shot in London by director Jake Nava. The first scene features Pink in a hotel room (shot in Mayfair Hotel) staring out of a window, and later accessing her laptop computer. During the video she messes up the room by throwing everything around, and she is later seen sitting in the fetal position in a shower. Another scene shows Pink walking down a street, past a couple in love and some drunken men. The video ends with Pink singing to an empty auditorium, pretending to do a real performance.
