Promotion and release

The release of "Nobody" was preceded by a countdown video on YouTube set for its release at 8 a.m. PT on March 14, 2023. The countdown video was unlocked by fans after completing an online scavenger hunt created by the band in order to tease new material.^[7] The release of "Nobody" coincided with the announcement of Life Is but a Dream..., its corresponding album. "Nobody" was accompanied by a music video, which was uploaded to YouTube the same day as the single release, where it amassed over 500,000 views in the first 24 hours and rising No. 1 on trending videos on YouTube. The video was directed by Chris Hopewell, and is entirely in stop motion.^[8]
