"When Somebody Loves You" is a song written and recorded by American country music artist Alan Jackson. It was released in March 2001 as the second single and title track from the album of the same name. It peaked at number 5 on the Hot Country Songs chart.
Deborah Evans Price, of Billboard magazine reviewed the song favorably, saying that Jackson's "warm-throated delivery turns it into a treasure." She goes on to say that there is a "tender, vulnerable quality to his performance, ideally underscored by the mandolin and dobro that enhance the production."[1]
Country music singer Martina McBride covered the song from the television special CMT Giants: Alan Jackson.
The music video was directed by Chris Rogers and is filmed entirely in black and white, except for one rose, seen at the end of the video. It was one of CMT's Top 20 most-played videos of 2001.
"When Somebody Loves You" debuted at number 42 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks for the week of March 10, 2001.
