"Someday Out of the Blue" is a song by British singer-songwriter Elton John, recorded for the soundtrack to the film The Road to El Dorado. Written by John, Patrick Leonard, and Tim Rice, it serves as one of the themes of the film and was the first single released from the soundtrack.[2]
"Someday Out of the Blue" reached No. 5 on the US Billboard Adult Contemporary chart and No. 49 on the Billboard Hot 100. The song was John's last appearance on the Hot 100 until "Cold Heart (Pnau remix)" charted in 2021.[3] "Someday Out of the Blue" also reached No. 40 in Switzerland and No. 69 in Germany.
The music video includes some scenes of the movie and it features John performing this song (from the background of the film) in person to being an animated character on the film. It was directed by Joseph Kahn and Bibo Bergeron.
Live performances
John performed "Someday Out of the Blue" on various locations and concerts to promote the movie. However, he dropped it from his setlists later on and has not played it since 2000.[4]
