Australian producer Hayden James needed just two or three hours to write "Something About You" in 2014, then weeks to get the production right, and the first people he played it to were Rüfüs, whose opinion he wanted. That's his own voice on the chorus, blended with George Maple's in the verses, and the point was a song, not a dance track: he's more into soulful stuff, he said, and anyone who wanted it crazier could remix it.

It surfaced on Future Classic's compilation Teen Idols, went out as a one-track digital single on 22 May 2015, with Casablanca handling it in the US, and the video followed on 27 May. The remixes duly arrived on 21 August 2015. It was up for Best Dance Release at the ARIA Music Awards of 2015, losing out to Rüfüs and "You Were Right".
