Something About You is the third studio album by the recording artist Angela Bofill, released in 1981. This was her first direct release through Arista Records, with Narada Michael Walden as producer and Clive Davis as executive.

Between the releases of Angel of the Night and Something About You, Bofill left GRP Records and joined Arista, which distributed GRP at the time, hoping to expand on her crossover success. In spite of the controversies surrounding Bofill and GRP, the album managed to sell, but with less success than her first two albums.

In 2002, Something About You was digitally remastered and re-released on Arista Records with extra tracks.
