Content
In the song, Latto raps over a "vibey, laid-back beat" about finding a person she can love and trust.[1][2] She interpolates "Are You That Somebody?" on the chorus, crooning "I really need somebody / Tell me you that somebody / I don't care about your bodies / Uh, love the way you touch my body".[3][4][5]
Critical reception
Bryson "Boom" Paul of HotNewHipHop stated, "By mixing 90s R&B flavor with her trademark confidence, Latto's evolving — not just as a rapper but as a full-blown artist. 'Somebody' ain't just a single; it's a statement that she can talk slick, talk soft, and still make it bang."[2]
HotNewHipHop ranked the song as the 11th best rap song of 2025.[6]
Music video
The music video was released alongside the single. It was directed by Latto's sister Brooklyn Nikole and shot in Jamaica. The clip sees Latto sunbathing on a bamboo raft in a river,[4][5][7] and lounging in the sand,[5] surrounded by tropical scenery[8] and lush greenery. She wears a skimpy bikini[7] and limited-edition rose gold, diamond Cartier Crash watch.[9] The video features a cameo from Jamaican DJ Popcaan,[3][4][7][9] who plays her love interest.[3]
