"Ain't Nobody" is the first single by English singer-songwriter Clare Maguire, taken from her debut album Light After Dark. It was released in the United Kingdom on 17 October 2010 through Polydor Records. Maguire told Artist Direct about this tune: "It's a very mysterious and passionate song; it's the most ethereal on the album. To be honest, all of the other songs are a lot more straightforward lyrically. This one is definitely a bit otherworldly." She added, regarding the song's meaning: "It's really about passion and a deep yearning for somebody. I didn't want it to be too straightforward. I wanted it to have that open, desert-y feeling, which is why I incorporated guitar. It's an epic love song."

Live performances
The first live performance of "Ain't Nobody" was at Latitude Festival in 2010. It was played after a live version of another song from Maguire's first Studio Album Light After Dark, "This Is Not The End". It has been performed live at a collection of live events, most notably at the New Pop Festival in 2011.

Music video
The music video, directed by Sam Brown, premiered on 3 November 2010 on Maguire's official Vevo account. It depicts Maguire in a desert-like area with high winds and an outfit with lots of long threads of material. It shows her sitting in a chair while singing the haunting track and the high powered winds blowing her hair and clothes around, and eventually a red velvet mirage appears behind Maguire, and also blows in the wind.

As of 16 February 2013, the video has reached 395,573 views on Maguire's official VEVO account and 1,208,507 on Maguire's personal YouTube account.

Reception
Ed "Gizzle" Nightingale of The Gizzle Reviews gave the song a 5/5, stating: "The poetic, romantic lyrics border on obsession and are dressed up in slick production: deep, electro bass; pounding drums; emotive strings. Together with the vocals, it's a unique and exciting sonority - Clare Maguire is an absolute marvel.  Bring on the album Light After Dark."
