“During this tough time in our society, we wanted to share a piece of our love with the world. Love always wins," Rotimi said of the inspiration behind the single. "Love Somebody" follows his previous release "In My Bed" featuring Wale that has amassed nearly 100 million streams worldwide.

Quotable Lyrics

My beautiful lover (my beautiful lover)
Your happiness is right in your face (right in your face) oh
Like the sun over water
I guarantee that we will shine every day
