"When You Love Someone" is a song performed by British singer and songwriter James TW. The song was released as a digital download on 19 August 2016 by Island Records as the lead single from his second extended play First Impressions (2016).
James TW explained in a 1:12 minute YouTube video that he came up with the song during the time he was teaching some children instruments to play and he found out that the parents of one of the kids he was teaching were getting divorced. The kid was 11-years-old at the time and James thought he'd write the song of how the parents would explain to their son in a way he would understand and in a positive way the fact of separating parents. James wanted a song that his music student and other kids passing through a similar situation could listen to, to give them hope to make them realize that "what happened in life was perhaps for the best".[2]
