"Someone to You" is a song by English musician Banners, released in June 2017[1] as the third single from Banners second extended play Empires on Fire and his second album Where the Shadow Ends. The song is a declaration of the willingness to fully commit to a relationship. The declaration is delivered in a spirited melody and is reinforced by gang backing vocals.
Though it did not chart at the time of its release, it later became a viral sleeper hit in 2020 after gaining popularity on the TikTok video sharing app.
"Someone to You" was released in June 2017.[2]
In 2020, it was used in a trailer for a TV show, in a movie, in a T-Mobile commercial and on TikTok. The song's success took Banners by surprise saying at first, he had no idea why the track was getting so many unexpected streams: "I try not to look at my Spotify numbers too much...but every now and then I was just checking it and it was like, 'This is getting more and more popular every week. So I went to the record label...and I was like, 'Can we find out what's going on, please?'"
In January 2021, he performed the song at Live with Kelly and Ryan.[3]
The Spill Magazine called the song "magnetic and warm, capturing the simple pleasures of falling in love, while maintaining the thought-provoking choral components that define the Banners sound."[2]
Mary Chang from There Goes the Fear said "The song is a wonderful foot-stomper, with an incessant, irrepressible beat, and lyrics that beg to be sung along to."[4]
