The call was originally recorded as a demonstration by Bieber`s mentor, R&B singer, Usher. For obscure reasons, Bieber re-recorded the call with featured backing vocals from Usher.
The call is an upbeat dance song, with R&B tones with influences of Eurodisco. It impacted mainstream and rhythmic radio on April 20, 2010.
The call has received positive reviews, complimenting the track`s dance and club feel.
"Somebody to Love" became Bieber`s third straight top ten hit in Canada, and reach the top twenty in the United States, Germany, New Zealand, Australia,whilst charting in other international markets. Bieber has performed the call at a total of venues, including at the 2010 VIVA Comet Awards in Germany, and in Wales at Radio 1′s Big Weekend. The official remix has full featured vocals from Usher, and it is included on a follow-up going to his sixth studio album, titled Versus.
The call was originally created by the Stereotypes for Usher`s sixth studio album, Raymond v. Raymond. A song produced by Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, "Lingerie" leaked onto the net in early 2010, along with a previous version of "Soul to Love". However, neither were found for the last cut of Raymond v. Raymond.
The strain was subsequently announced as a lead from Bieber`s My World 2. with backing vocals from Usher`s version remaining inside the last cut.
Usher re-recorded vocals about the official remix of the song. In an April 2010 interview with MTV News, Bieber said he was anticipating the call to be released as the 2nd one from My World 2. commenting that he doesn`t make the last decision and noting that it may be "U Smile" or another track. Speaking in regards to the record, Bieber said, "It`s basically about somebody to adore. It`s cool. It`s young. It`s nice. I guess it`s like an universal record."
In a Q&A with Rap-Up, Jonathan Yip of The Stereotypes said "Basically, it was originally created for Usher, and he cut it and everything, but I conjecture the label didn`t acknowledge what they wanted to do with the record. So the same day we were actually creating the record, we had Perez Hilton in the studio. He was like, `Ya know what, that would be effective for Justin Bieber.` And we were like, `Hey, we`d adore for it to be for Justin Bieber too.` So the instant that Jive wasn`t sure what they wanted to do with the show for Usher, we backtracked and went to Bieber`s manager Scooter Braun and told him, `Yo, do you need to cut this for Justin?` and he was like, "Yup." So that`s kinda how it happened. Usher`s now back about the record, within the remix, so we can`t truly complain. It`s now Justin`s current single."
