"Somebody" is a country music song written by Dave Berg, Sam Tate, and Annie Tate. The song was originally recorded by American country music artist Mark Wills for his fourth studio album Loving Every Minute (2001). The song was later recorded by Reba McEntire as the second single from her 25th studio album Room to Breathe (2003) on December 22, 2003. The song was released rather quickly due to the underperformance of the album's lead single "I'm Gonna Take That Mountain", which had only reached number 14 on the country charts.
On the issue dated August 7, 2004, "Somebody" topped the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart (now known as the Hot Country Songs chart) for one week, becoming McEntire's 22nd number one hit and her first since "If You See Him/If You See Her", her duet with Brooks & Dunn in 1998. It also became her 53rd top ten hit. "Somebody" would be McEntire's only country number one single of the 2000s decade, although her 2009 single, "Consider Me Gone", would top the country charts for four weeks in January 2010.
