"Nobody's Diary" is a song recorded by British synthpop band Yazoo. It was released as the only single from their 1983 album, You and Me Both. The song was written by Yazoo vocalist Alison Moyet and produced by the band and Eric Radcliffe.
The 12-inch single was released with different B-sides in the UK and U.S. Mute Records released the song in the UK with "Situation" on the flip side. "Situation" appears on the U.S. version of the band's previous album Upstairs at Eric's (although it was added to the UK track list in later pressings). The single peaked at number three in the UK Singles Chart.
Sire Records released "Nobody's Diary" in the U.S., with You and Me Both album track "State Farm" as a double A-side. Interestingly, "State Farm" was not included on the UK version of You and Me Both. The double A-side hit number one on the U.S. Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1983.
