"Somebody Someone" comes from Korn's fourth album, Issues, which hit stores in November 1999, and it went out to radio as a promotional single. Brendan O'Brien produced and mixed it, with Nick DiDia recording and Ryan Williams engineering, and the writing credit is split five ways between Jonathan Davis, Fieldy, Head, Munky and David Silveria.
Of the album's singles it did the least business on the rock charts, though it picked up a decent run on MTV's Total Request Live. Where it really lived was on stage: it stayed a concert fixture from 2000 to 2011, dropped out of the set for the first time on The Path of Totality Tour, and from 2013 its closing section came back, tacked on after "Shoots and Ladders".
