Background and promotion

Wallen shared a first teaser of the song on May 16, 2024, featuring himself on a boat in Nashville, Tennessee captioned "I feel like this one's gonna sound good on the boat". [3] While touring in Sweden in late August 2024, Wallen performed the full song for the first time during his tour stop in Stockholm as part of his One Night at a Time Tour. [4] Another live performance includes a set with Hardy and Ernest at the T.J. Martell Foundation gala on September 17. [5]

On September 16, he shared another snippet of the "mid-tempo" song about the theme of "looking for love", which was described as hopeful with an "ounce of pain", evoking feelings of "betrayal and heartbreak". Wallen also announced the song to be out "soon". [6] During his homecoming show at Neyland Stadium in Knoxville, Tennessee on September 20, Wallen announced the song to be released on October 18. [7] The artwork was revealed on October 7 and depicts a blurry shot of a beach at sunset. [8] "Love Somebody" explores the longing for genuine connection and the struggles of finding meaningful love amidst superficial relationships. It is a country song with soft-rock elements inspired by Latin-leaning influences. [9] The song interpolates the 2018 single "Tokyo Nights" by Digital Farm Animals, Shaun Frank and Dragonette.

In the United States, "Love Somebody" debuted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100, becoming Wallen's first solo single to debut at the top of the chart and third to lead the chart.
