Alongside ‘Somebody!’, the digital single also includes a B-side track titled ‘Lemon’. This song takes on a more minimalist approach, and the heavy beat is layered with the lyrics that both the artists participated in.

Previously, Hwasa and Loco had worked together on a song called ‘Don’t’, during their time participating in the show ‘Hyena on the Keyboard’. Following the release of ‘Don’t’, the digital single ‘Somebody’ is the two artists’ second collaborative effort, after about four years and three months.
