"Somebody Like That" is a song co-written and recorded by Canadian country music artist Tenille Arts.[2] The song was co-written with Allison Veltz, as well as the track's producer Alex Kline.[3] It was the third single from Arts' second album Love, Heartbreak, & Everything in Between.[4] Kline made history in January 2021 as the first solo female producer to have a song performed by a female artist reach the top 15 on American country radio.[5] In April 2021, the song hit #1 on the Mediabase Country Aircheck chart in the U.S., giving Arts the first #1 for a Canadian artist since Emerson Drive's "Moments" in 2007.[6]
Background[]
Arts remarked that her and her co-writers wanted to get away from writing breakup songs, and wanted to "write something positive that was uptempo and fun, but still had substance to it, and was still... a really positive way of looking at love".[7] The song is about searching for "epic love that lasts a lifetime" and not settling until you find it. Arts and her co-writers took inspiration from couples they looked up to, including their parents and grandparents.[8]
Critical reception[]
Billy Dukes of Taste of Country called the track "a love song presented with great confidence and heart".[9] The song was named Top Country Pick of the Week on January 10, 2020.[10]
Commercial performance[]
"Somebody Like That" peaked at number 9 on the Billboard Canada Country chart, her highest-charting song in Canada to date.[11] It has reached peaks of number 3 on Country Airplay,[12] number 9 on Hot Country Songs,[13] and number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States.[14]
Release and promotion[]
"Somebody Like That" was released to digital retailers and streaming platforms on September 27, 2019,[3] and was shortly released to Canadian country radio after. 19th & Grand Records and Reviver Records jointly released the song to American country radio in January 13, 2020.[1] In late April, Reviver split with Arts' promotion and label team, and the song was solely promoted by 19th & Grand afterwards.[15]
