The reach of the message of &#8216;Nobody, But Me&#8217; goes further than the music business &#8211; it&#8217;s something which can be applied to any environment where you&#8217;re under pressure to conform against your better judgement, giving you the power to stand up and say no.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The music video for &#8216;Nobody, But Me&#8217;, is as equally striking as the song, with Belle VEX captured in a room, surrounded by background visuals incorporating the words of the song.
