Background and recording On October 23, 2019, Blake Shelton announced the details and revealed the cover art for his third compilation album, Fully Loaded: God's Country (2019). A collection of seven singles from If I'm Honest (2016) and Texoma Shore (2017), it also features five new songs including lead single "God's Country" and "Hell Right", a collaboration with Trace Adkins. "Nobody but You" was first announced during this press release, although Gwen Stefani's role in the song was not mentioned. On December 4 of the same year, Shelton announced that his fiancée, Stefani, would duet with him on the track. In the same announcement, the song's producer and writers were given. During the official album release party for Fully Loaded: God's Country, Shelton revealed how he first became aware of "Nobody but You": "I actually got the song through Gwen because she had been working with Shane McAnally. He told her that he had a song he needed to get to me and sent it to her first and she sent it on to me. I listened to it and I knew, 'Oh my god, I gotta cut this song. This song's incredible.'"

Stefani's role in the song was unexpected according to Hendricks, who described her contributions as last minute additions to the track. He revealed: "It wasn't originally set to be a duet at all, [but] she fit like a glove, and it was super easy [to add her vocals]". During an interview streamed live via his Instagram account, Shelton described working with Stefani on the track: I'm still learning when it comes to recording with Gwen. We’ve only recorded literally a handful of songs together. But the thing that I think that I'm blown away with Gwen is just how hard she works when she gets into the studio. She's not willing to take anything less than greatness... and she's willing to put in the work. I don't think Gwen knows how great of a vocalist she really is.
