Nothin' (Guns N' Roses song)

"Nothin'" is a song by the American hard rock band Guns N' Roses, released on December 4, 2025.

Like the other singles released since the band's semi-reunion in 2016, it was conceived during the Chinese Democracy recording sessions from the late '90s to the 2000s and reworked with Slash and Duff McKagan after they rejoined the band.

Background

The song first appeared as a leaked rough demo from the "Locker Leaks" in 2019 under the working title "Nothing".<reF></ref> The band performed the song at a soundcheck before a concert in May 2025. but was "temporarily postponed", according to the record label. and ranked it third out of the six post-reunion singles, saying "Don't be fooled by the lounge-style keyboards and electronic beats that open.. [it] quickly blossoms into a full-fledged power ballad, rife with massive power chords and anthemic hooks. Slash shines in particular... alternating between aching guitar squalls and fiery solos. As Rose wails atop his expressive outro solo, you can almost picture the Guns N' Roses of yesteryear exploding from your speakers. Revolver said the song has a "more surprising, mildly fuzzy electric piano textures, and features bluesy, bottom-of-the-pool-slick guitar embellishment, but eventually goes Guns-style power ballad. Slash also hits the mile-wide vibrato with his solo." NME described the song as a "rock power ballad with thick, retro-sounding keyboard chords".
