"Somebody Like You" is the seventh single recorded by In Real Life, released on May 10, 2019, through Hollywood Records.[1] It was produced by Mitchell Allan, who co-wrote it with Kara DioGuardi and Justin Jesso. Lyrically the song is about falling in love with someone who seems to have quirks that, in your mind, make them unique and perfect despite what others perceive.
Conor Michael Smith does not have a part in this single, explaining over an Instagram livestream that he did not resonate with it as well as the rest of his bandmates did.[2] However, he was still featured in the cover art and the lyric video.

Lyrics[]
[Verse 1: Sergio Calderon, Chance Perez, Drew Ramos]
You get happy when it rains
You could stay awake for days
And ignore the traffic lights
You drink coffee, 10 PM
You think caffeine is your friend
'Cause it gets you through the night
But I need somethin' a little stronger
You're my whiskey, hold the water
You're the one that gets me high
Yeah, you love me just to hate me
But I love you kind of crazy
'Cause it makes me feel alive, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus: Sergio Calderon, Drew Ramos]
There ain't nobody like you
And you ain't like nobody
No, you don't like nobody like you
That's why I like you baby
There ain't nobody like you
What you do to my body
You give like you got nothin' to lose
I think I need somebody
[Chorus: Drew Ramos]
Like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
Like you
[Verse 2: Sergio Calderon, Drew Ramos]
You can't hide the way you feel
Everything you say is real
Yeah, I love that you can't lie
You got me actin' like a child
When you dance, it makes me smile
You don't even have to try, oh
[Pre-Chorus: Chance Perez, Sergio Calderon]
There ain't nobody like you
And you ain't like nobody
No, you don't like nobody like you
That's why I like you baby (I think I need ya)
There ain't nobody like you
What you do to my body
You give like you got nothin' to lose
I think I need somebody
[Chorus: Drew Ramos, Chance Perez]
Like you

[Bridge: Brady Tutton, Chance Perez, Drew Ramos]
But I need somethin' a little stronger
You're my whiskey, hold the water
You're the one that gets me high, oh-oh-oh, yeah
Yeah, you love me just to hate me
But I love you kind of crazy
'Cause it makes me feel alive, oh-oh
[Pre-Chorus: Chance Perez, Drew Ramos, Sergio Calderon]
There ain't nobody like you (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
And you ain't like nobody (No, you ain't like no)
