Who had a hit with the song "Love Somebody"?

Maroon 5 had a hit with the song “Love Somebody.” The track was recorded by the American pop-rock band for its fourth studio album, Overexposed.

“Love Somebody” was written by Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine with Ryan Tedder, Noel Zancanella and Nathaniel Motte. Tedder and Zancanella also produced the recording. Its polished dance-pop sound fit the electronic-influenced style that shaped much of Overexposed.

The song was released as the album’s fourth and final single in 2013. It became Maroon 5’s fourth top-10 hit from Overexposed on the Billboard Hot 100, following the success of “One More Night,” “Payphone” and “Daylight.”

Listeners sometimes confuse the title with other songs called “Love Somebody,” including the 1980s hit by Rick Springfield. The trivia question refers to Maroon 5’s 2013 single, not Springfield’s earlier song. The accompanying music video is also notable for its visual concept, which shows Adam Levine covered in metallic paint.
