"Nobody's Business" is a House, disco-pop, [15] pop [16] and R&B-funk song [17] with a length of three minutes and thirty-six seconds. [18] Smokey D. Fontaine of The Urban Daily described it as "a perfect blend of R&B soul and pop feel-good with an irresistible sing-in-the-shower falsetto hook." [19] The track contains interpolation from the composition "The Way You Make Me Feel" (1987) as written and performed by Michael Jackson. [14] Additionally, it has disco-driven influences [20] and "funkified" upbeat tempo. [15] [16] Greg Kot of Chicago Tribune wrote that "Nobody's Business" mixes Chicago stepping and house styles and features strings, piano, and a four-on-the-floor kick drum. [21] Billboard's magazine stuff described it as a "wonderfully catchy throwback to early-90s club music", [22] while according to Dan Martin of NME is a swinging summer jam. [23] Writing for The New York Times , Jon Caramanica stated that "Nobody's Business" is gelatinous, smooth, and carefree. [24]

Genevieve Koski of The A.V. Club labeled the duet as "eminently danceable paean to forbidden love". [25] Lyrically, the couple proclaims their eternal fealty, make out in a Lexus and acknowledge the world that the romantic relationship between them is only their business. [16] According to Billboard's reviewer, in lines like "you'll always be the one I want to come home to" and "you'll always be my baby", "it makes the beyond-complicated circumstances of their history impossible to ignore." [22] Stacy-Ann Ellis of Vibe magazine, wrote that the song, like the couple’s first post-makeup collaboration, "Birthday Cake (Remix)", is about the history they share and "refuse to let go of—it’ll irk some people". [20] Digital Spy's Robert Copsey noted that vocally Brown does his best to achieve a Jackson impression. [17] Robert Leedham of Drowned in Sound stated that "Nobody's Business" "makes you want to write a long, worthy think piece so you can come to terms with your own moral standing on it." [26]

Critical reception

Critics praised the influence of Michael Jackson's (left) works into the song, while some criticized Rihanna's (right) decision to collaborate with Brown because of their past relationship.

"Nobody's Business" received generally positive reviews from music critics. Brad Stern of MTV Buzzworthy wrote that although the collaboration itself is controversial, the song is one of the standouts on the album. [15] Copsey of Digital Spy, [17] Ellis of Vibe and Leedham of Drowned in Sound agreed with Stern, [20] with the latter stating, "On an album that’s mildly abrasive and not a lot of fun, its piano-lead stomp and teasing vocal interplay are actually enjoyable." [26] Similarly, Pitchfork Media's Jessica Hooper recognized it as one of the high points on Unapologetic. [16] Caramanica of The New York Times wrote that it is the most tender, affectionate, spirited song on the record, "On an album full of dyspeptic relationships, it is the breath of cool, nourishing air." [24] Jon Reyes of HipHop DX wrote that the song is "a very well thought out move, probably in hopes that it would help soften the impending criticism that Rihanna would receive from singing the pop version of makeup sex with her abusive ex-boyfriend." [27]

Reviewers also noted and praised the interpolation of Jackson's song on the track. Fountaine of The Urban Daily agreed and named is at the album's best track further stating that Jackson's 1989 single "ain’t got nothing on this ['Nobody's Business']". [19] A reviewer of Billboard magazine praised Jackson's influence in the song and stated that is hard to resist to its charm. [22] Koski of The A.V. Club deemed "Nobody's Business" as one of the strongest tracks on the album and compared it to the works from the singer's seventh studio album Bad (1987). [25] The Huffington Post's Mesfin Fekadu praised Jackson's song sample on the track, however, dismissed its lyrical content. [28]

Some of the critics were divided on Rihanna's decision to collaborate with Brown again. Toronto Star's Lucas Oleniuk stated that "Nobody's Business" is not a bad track, "it’s one of the catchiest and freshest-sounding here — but the troubling subtext is as irksome as the irony of titling a song that proudly makes the pair’s business everybody's." [29] Bernard Perusse of Montreal Gazette noted that although it is a pretty fair R&B smoker, there is something nauseating and sinister about the song and that is its message. [30] Being more critical towards the collaboration, Randall Roberts of Los Angeles Times wrote that the track represents a sad inversion of the 1965 single "I Got You Babe" by Sonny & Cher, further noting " Instead of singing about connection, true love and wanting to shout it to the world, the song features a convicted abuser and the woman he assaulted asking everyone to shut up and leave them alone."
