"No Body" is a song written by Rodney Clawson, Chris Tompkins, and Josh Kear, and recorded by American country music singer Blake Shelton.
History
The song uses references to country music of the 1990s, including "Boot Scootin' Boogie" by Brooks & Dunn, to express the male narrator's interest in a potential lover.[1] According to Shelton, he chose to record the song because said references made him feel nostalgic for the music he listened to prior to moving to Nashville, Tennessee at the beginning of his career in 2001.[2]
When filming the music video, Shelton wore a cowboy hat and a fake mullet, to mimic the appearance the singer had very early in his career.[3]
