Background[]
Nobody Knows was written by Pink and co-written and produced by Billy Mann. The song is a piano-ballad and deals with her feelings of depression.
The song received positive reviews. IGN's wrote that "'Nobody Knows' goes for a shiny blues ballad feel, Pink flexing her vocal chords to reveal a downright sweetness to her voice." Quentin Huff from PopMatters wrote that "Even when you feel like you’ve heard it before, her smoky vocals and clever touches let you know it’s not the same old thing."
Entertainment Weekly's Chris Willman wrote that the song can be skipped while listening to the album, while referring the track as a "stab at Xtina-style balladic solipsism, Pink's vocal span from G3 to G5".
