'Nobody I Know' is a song written by Paul McCartney (attributed to LennonMcCartney) which Peter and Gordon recorded in an April 1964 session at Abbey Road Studio. Peter and Gordon had had a UK and US #1 hit with the McCartney composition "A World Without Love" and McCartney wrote "Nobody I Know" with the specific intent of providing a follow-up hit for the duo. 'Billboard' described the song as a "strong follow-up" to "A World Without Love." 'Cash Box' described it as "a captivating uptempo romancer...that the twosome wraps up with loads of charm."
