==Background and composition==
"Nobody to Love" was originally a [[Bootleg recording|bootleg remix]] of American rapper [[Kanye West]]'s 2013 single "[[Bound 2]]", featuring [[Charlie Wilson (singer)|Charlie Wilson]]. Sigma frequently played the remix in nightclubs around the UK and received positive feedback. The remix was released on 24 January 2014 as a free download and, after the duo sent it to some DJs at [[BBC Radio 1]], they "got really behind it" and record labels later started approaching Sigma.<ref name="idolator"/> This led them to rework it into an original song, with Wilson's vocals covered by former [[One True Voice]] member [[Daniel Pearce (musician, born 1978)|Daniel Pearce]].<ref name="Dixon"/><ref name="capitalfm.com"/> The beginning of the song's original mix samples "[[Think (About It)]]" by [[Lyn Collins]]. The female voice saying "uh huh, honey" is a sample of "[[Sweet Nothin's]]" performed by [[Brenda Lee]].<ref>{{cite news|url=https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/business/business-news/kanye-west-sued-bound-2-667655/|title=Kanye West Sued Over 'Bound 2' Sample|first=Ashley|last=Lee|date=24 December 2013|work=The Hollywood Reporter|access-date=5 October 2022}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.classicrockhistory.com/top-10-brenda-lee-songs/|title=Top 10 Brenda Lee Songs|first=Emily|last=Fagan|date=29 January 2022|publisher=Classic Rock History|access-date=5 October 2022}}</ref>

"Nobody to Love" is a song by British record production duo Sigma. The song was originally a bootleg remix of "Bound 2" by Kanye West featuring Charlie Wilson, released on 24 January 2014 as a free download. It later received support from major British radio stations including BBC Radio 1 and 1Xtra, and so was reworked into an original track with Wilson's vocals covered by former One True Voice member Daniel Pearce.[2][3] It was released as the second single from their debut studio album, Life (2015).

The song topped the UK Singles Chart upon release, making it not only Sigma's first UK number one but also their first ever top 40 single.[4] It sold over 121,000 copies in the first week.[4] It also topped the charts in Poland and New Zealand and reached the top three in Flanders and Ireland, as well as number 11 in Australia.

Background and composition

[edit]

"Nobody to Love" was originally a bootleg remix of American rapper Kanye West's 2013 single "Bound 2", featuring Charlie Wilson. Sigma frequently played the remix in nightclubs around the UK and received positive feedback. The remix was released on 24 January 2014 as a free download and, after the duo sent it to some DJs at BBC Radio 1, they "got really behind it" and record labels later started approaching Sigma.[5] This led them to rework it into an original song, with Wilson's vocals covered by former One True Voice member Daniel Pearce.[2][3] The beginning of the song's original mix samples "Think (About It)" by Lyn Collins. The female voice saying "uh huh, honey" is a sample of "Sweet Nothin's" performed by Brenda Lee.[6][7]

Music video

[edit]

A music video to accompany the release of "Nobody to Love" was directed by Craig Moore[8] and was filmed in Cape Town, South Africa.[5] It was first released onto YouTube on 24 March 2014 at a total length of four minutes and four seconds.[9] The video features South African models Liv de Klerk and Nicole Naude[10] on a road trip, described as "Thelma and Louise reinvented".[11]
