Nobody's Fool


"Nobody's Fool" is a power ballad by American glam metal band Cinderella, released in 1986 as the lead single from their debut album Night Songs. It reached number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it one of the band's most recognizable tracks. For electric guitar players, the song offers a rewarding mix of clean, emotive chord work and the melodic sensibility typical of mid-1980s glam metal, making it a solid study in ballad-style phrasing and dynamics.

  • The song charted at number 13 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 25 on the Hot Mainstream Rock Tracks chart in 1987.
  • As the lead single from Night Songs, it was Cinderella's commercial breakthrough, showcasing their softer, melodic side.
  • The track runs approximately 4 minutes and 47 seconds, giving guitarists ample space to explore its full dynamic range.
