Inside the Lyrics to Guns N' Roses' New Song 'Nothin''

Here is what we know so far about the lyrics to Guns N' Roses' new song, "Nothin'."

The track, along with "Atlas," was teased when the band dropped its 2026 tour dates on Nov. 24. At the time, it was announced that they would be out on Dec. 2.

The release of the songs was delayed for unspecified reasons, with both "Nothin'" and "Atlas" arriving two days later.

The songs are the first new tracks released by the band since "The General" in 2023.

What Is 'Nothin'' About?

"Nothin'" opens with a bouncy keyboard line before giving way to a massive guitar solo that stands up next to much of Slash's best work. The sound builds in swells, much like the nautical references Axl Rose makes throughout the song.

The lyrics use sailing and the sea as a way to explain navigating the rough waters of love and relationships. The keyboard part at the beginning is almost soothing until the rest of the band thunders in, much like the story being told during "Nothin'."

Make no mistake, however, the song still features plenty of hallmarks of some of Guns N' Roses' greatest work. There's vulnerability in Rose's lyrics and Slash, well, being Slash and absolutely shredding that solo.

What Are the Full Lyrics to Guns N' Roses' 'Nothin''?

Guns N' Roses has yet to officially release the lyrics to "Nothin'." Loudwire writers gave the song several listens on Thursday and came up with the following lyrics.

Guns N' Roses' "Nothin'" Lyrics

There's nothin' I could see
That would mean more to me
Than what you are to me
Oh, my love
There's nothin' I could see
That would mean more to me
Than what you are to me
Oh, my love
On a stormy sea
Of implications
Your love has given me
A new way
There's nothin' I can see
That could mean more to me
Than what you are to me
Oh, my love
There's nothin' I can see
That could mean more to me
Than what you are to me
Oh, my love
On the reckless sea
Of indication
A love that can't find me
A new way
To redeem myself
When it feels like no one else
Would ever come to save me
There's nothin' I could see
That would mean more to me
Than what you are to me
Oh, my love
On an endless sea
Of complications
Your love can offer me
A new way
Without your love
I'll never make it
Without your love
I'm so alone
Without love
I'll never make it
Without love
We'll never make this
Back home

We will provide any updates needed to the lyrics once they become official.

Both "Nothin'" and "Atlas" will be released as a 7-inch vinyl and a Guns N' Roses store exclusive cassette with pre-orders for both beginning Dec. 12
