Background and composition

"Somebody" is the first single released from the soundtrack Lemonade Mouth (2011), for the Disney Channel television movie of the same name. It was produced by Reed Vertelney, who also co-wrote with Lindy Robbins. Musically, the song is prominent pop rock that runs through an pop oriented beat. Mendler's vocals span from the low note of F3 to the high note of E5.

Critical reception

Kate Conrad form AOL said that the song was about how to turn bitter into something sweet and is a good mix of rock and pop music. Pop Dust criticized the lack of consistency in the production of the song, calling it as unattractive: "The song’s not that bad—it’s professionally mediocre at the very least—but it's hard to not wish that Disney had used this chance to at least attempt to humor the teenage-outsider contingent. Something to demonstrate at least token awareness of high-school misfitdom extending beyond the slightly goofier Jonas Brothers".

Chart performance

The song debuted (and peaked) at number 89 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number 12 on the US Billboard Heatseekers chart. In its first week, the song sold 6,000 copies in the United States according to Nielsen SoundScan.

Music video

A lyrics music video was released on the Disney website later that same day. On March 18, 2011, the official music video for the song premiered on Disney Channel during a special Prom-themed episode of The Suite Life on Deck. It was directed by Brandon Dickerson.
