The vocals featured in the track are Norwegian. The lyric "Jeg har ingenting, men jeg har alt når jeg har deg" translates to "I have nothing, but I have everything when I have you." [1]

Music video

The music video for "Nothing but You" is filmed in the style of the Reflections album. It includes images of the streets of Cape Town and follows a girl who climbs to the top of her apartment to the roof as a boy does the same on the other side of the street, interspersed with shots of Paul van Dyk in his apartment suite doing mundane activities and reflecting with a glum look on his face. At various points in the video, van Dyk looks up at the unnamed girl and thinks to himself, but in the end does nothing, whilst she connects with the boy on the opposite side. The girl and boy both climb down and they meet in the street where they inevitably kiss. The meaning behind this video probably reflects on the vocals of the song; while van Dyk has wealth and fame, he is still unhappy at the thought of being alone, whilst the girl and boy are happy despite not having anything but each other.
