Nobody Knows was Pink’s fourth single from her fourth album I’m Not Dead. It was released on 20th November 2006 in Britain and Ireland and during January 2007 in Australia and Europe. The song was written by Pink and Billy Mann, and the single came with the bside Words.

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 only physical 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.

The music video was shot in London by director Jake Nava. The first scene features Pink in a hotel room (shot in The May Fair hotel) staring out of a window to London at night,that changes to sunrise. She then watches TV but finds there's hardly anything on apart from a melting snowman and puts her head under her pillow before 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.
