context_section_description: On October 23, 2019, Blake Shelton announced the details and revealed the cover art for his third compilation album, Fully Loaded: God's Country (2019). A collection of seven singles from If I'm Honest (2016) and Texoma Shore (2017), it also features five new songs including lead single "God's Country" and "Hell Right", a collaboration with Trace Adkins. "Nobody but You" was first announced during this press release, although Gwen Stefani's featured role in the song was not mentioned. On December 4 of the same year, Shelton announced that his partner, Stefani, would duet with him on the track. In the same announcement, the song's producer and writers were given. During the official album release party for Fully Loaded: God's Country, Shelton revealed how he first became aware of "Nobody but You": "I actually got the song through Gwen because she had been working with Shane McAnally. He told her that he had a song he needed to get to me and sent it to her first and she sent it on to me. I listened to it and I knew, 'Oh my god, I gotta cut this song. This song's incredible.'"
  With the release of "Nobody but You", it became Shelton and Stefani's third collaboration together. Stefani first appeared as a guest vocalist on the promotional single "Go Ahead and Break My Heart" for his tenth studio album, If I'm Honest (2016). The next year, Shelton teamed up with Stefani for the title track to her fourth studio album and first Christmas album, You Make It Feel Like Christmas (2017).
  The song was first teased by Shelton on his Instagram account, where he posted a snippet of the song the day before its scheduled premiere. In the United States, "Nobody but You" was sent to various digital retailers as a paid download, along with the rest of Fully Loaded: God's Country, on December 13, 2019. Following its release, Shelton announced that he believed it to be the most meaningful and important song from his career. Over a month later, it was announced that the song would be released to country music radio stations on January 21, 2020. On March 19th of the same year, Shelton announced that a newly recorded acoustic version of the single would be available for streaming the following day. It was also made available as a digital single on streaming services like Apple Music. A previously unreleased live recording was distributed, also to Apple Music, on June 26. That same day, a digital extended play exclusive to Spotify users was released, containing all three versions of the song.
