"Somebody Else" is a song recorded by American R&B singer-songwriter Mario, featuring guest vocals from Trinidadian-American rapperNicki Minaj. The song was released in the United States as a digital download on May 21, 2013, on RCA Records.
It was intended to be the lead single for his then-upcoming fifth studio album, but would only be a standalone single due to Mario scrapping the whole album and departing from the label.[2][3]
The record heavily samples the 1975 song "Remember the Rain", by American R&B group 21st Century.[4]
Through his official Twitter page, on May 17, 2013, he confirmed that he has been working with Polow Da Don, for the track "Somebody Else" featuring rapper Nicki Minaj.[5][6] R&B singer-songwriter Frank Ocean recorded a demo of the song[7] as did Chris Brown who considered the song for his album Fortune.[8]

Critics also commented that people may love or hate this song, because of the meaning of it: "getting dumped and watching the man or woman you love run straight into the arms of 'Somebody Else'."[10][11]RnB Magazine called it "hot music" and a summer hit.[11]ThisisRnB.com acclaimed Minaj's verse and Polow Da Don's production, calling those "impressive" and "infectious", respectively.[12]
