"Someday" comes off We the People, the 2005 debut album Flipsyde cut for Interscope, and its hook is the pairing of rap with Spanish guitar that USA Today's Patrick Ryan singled out years later. That sound is what sold NBC: the network picked the song as the theme for its coverage of the 2006 Winter Olympics, betting it would reel in younger viewers.
It never charted in the States, but the exposure pushed album sales and put the group on stage at the 2006 Winter X Games. Two videos went out, among them an NBC version featuring skaters Michelle Kwan and Apolo Anton Ohno. Not everyone was charmed: one critic called the choice a transparent play for young eyeballs, another complained the lyrics had nothing to do with the Games. It later landed on the soundtrack of the 2008 film Never Back Down.
