"You're Somebody Else" started out on Nothing Lasts Forever (And It's Fine), the 2017 debut album from Swedish-American indie pop duo Flora Cash, released through the Stockholm indie Icons Creating Evil Art. Then the internet took over. A Movistar ad in Mexico, urging young people to be careful meeting strangers online, sent the song viral, RCA licensed it, and it was pulled from the digital album everywhere outside Scandinavia while staying on the vinyl.
Shpresa Lleshaj and Cole Randall wrote it, and American radio came around slowly and then all at once: it showed up on Pandora's Predictions chart in August 2018, cracked the top 10 on Billboard's Alternative and Adult Alternative airplay charts that November, and eventually hit number one on both Mediabase formats. Along the way it has passed 400 million Spotify streams, with its lyric video topping 200 million YouTube views.
