"Someone to You" is a song by English musician Banners, released in June 2017 [1] as the third single from Banners second extended play Empires on Fire and his second album Where the Shadow Ends.

Though it did not chart at the time of its release, it later became a viral sleeper hit in 2020 after gaining popularity on the TikTok video sharing app.

Background and release

"Someone to You" was released in June 2017. [2]

In 2020, it was used in a trailer for a TV show, in a movie, in a T-Mobile commercial and on TikTok. The song's success took Banners by surprise saying at first, he had no idea why the track was getting so many unexpected streams: "I try not to look at my Spotify numbers too much...but every now and then I was just checking it and it was like, 'This is getting more and more popular every week. So I went to the record label...and I was like, 'Can we find out what's going on, please?'" [3]

In January 2021, he performed the song at Live with Kelly and Ryan . [3]

Critical reception

The Spill Magazine called the song "magnetic and warm, capturing the simple pleasures of falling in love, while maintaining the thought-provoking choral components that define the Banners sound." [2]

Mary Chang from There Goes the Fear said "The song is a wonderful foot-stomper, with an incessant, irrepressible beat, and lyrics that beg to be sung along to." [4]
