It consists mostly of shots of Meester in the back of a limousine in the city at night and posing on a couch. The video is about finding love in a world consumed with fleeting lust and one-night stands. We start off in the car, we come in, I keep on fantasizing and dreaming that I'm with somebody I can love. But a lot about the photography and the lighting, and mostly about the clothes." Meester added to MTV News, "It's basically going through. Meester explained the concept of the video, saying, "I want it to be telling a story. A preview of the video was first shown during the Novemepisode of Gossip Girl, with the full-length video being launched on on November 9 immediately after its broadcast on The CW Network. The music video was directed by Zoe Cassavetes and filmed in New York City in October 2009. Deusner, however, gave it a mixed review, praising Meester's "sleepy/sexy delivery" but criticizing her "very narrow" vocal range and her " simple French pronunciation", referring to her pronunciation of the French phrase "Je t'adore" ("I adore you"). The lyrics are lovelorn, as she celebrates her jet-setter lifestyle but also mourns her inability to settle down." She noted Thicke's cameo as "he song's high point", as he "delivers a catchy chorus that cries out for a sped-up dance remix." Pitchfork 's Stephen M. Sarah MacRory of Billboard described the song as "a carefully constructed ode to vintage Madonna-particularly in its ' Vogue'-like verses, where Meester semi-raps rather than sings. It's exciting to be able to show a different side of my work and me." Critical reception I feel like it's really dancy and fun, but it's still laid back and relaxed and moody and sexy." Of the single, songwriter Love told MTV News, "I was honored when I found out that my record was chosen to be Leighton's first single.
Meester told MTV News that the song is "basically about how I can't get any-I can't find anyone to love." In an interview for On Air with Ryan Seacrest on October 13, 2009-where the song was premiered-Meester said, "I really wanted to make something that's completely different from anything that's on the radio right now. The track contains a synth-driven sing-along chorus, and was said to " back to Madonna's early-'90s dance music".
"Somebody to Love" is a midtempo electropop song that combines Meester's "pop-electronica vibe" with Thicke's "smooth R&B stylings". It is also included on the soundtrack to the 2010 film Valentine's Day.
