"Around the thirtieth time Mitski cries out to “nobody, nobody, nobody” on her latest single, “Nobody,” the word begins to dissolve at the edges into a spectral echo, as if somebody has slipped so far from her imagination that its shape is decaying. “Nobody,” from her upcoming album Be the Cowboy, is Mitski gone disco, and she uses this shining opportunity to sing a love song to the void. The “planet of love” has been “destroyed by global warming,” Mitski sings, and so she won’t be going there. (…)
“Nobody” feels like a disarming glance into Mitski’s diary, though she is too wise for wallowing: “I know no one will save me,” she sings, a beam of self-assurance. Mitski wants “one good movie kiss,” but in the process she creates a more relatable idea: The lonely movies of people getting by on their own, replete with a consoling beat to dance to. (Mitski stars in her own, hairbrush microphone in hand, in the fantastically odd “Nobody” video.) Of course, as Mitski dedicates this lovely disco ballad to “nobody, nobody,” she conjures a feeling to which anyone can relate." - Pitchfork, Jenn Pelly, June 26 2018

♪ lyrics ♪
My God, I’m so lonely
So I open the window
To hear sounds of people
To hear sounds of people
Venus, planet of love
Was destroyed by global warming
Did its people want too much too?
Did its people want too much?
And I don’t want your pity
I just want somebody near me
Guess I’m a coward
I just want to feel alright
And I know no one will save me
I just need someone to kiss
Give me one good honest kiss
And I’ll be alright
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody, nobody
I’ve been big and small
And big and small
And big and small again
And still nobody wants me
Still nobody wants me
And I know no one will save me
I’m just asking for a kiss
Give me one good movie kiss
And I’ll be alright
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Ooh, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody
Nobody, nobody, no
