"Love Somebody Else" finds Medrano stubbornly fixated on a former lover, putting his happiness in jeopardy by holding onto a tiny glimmer of hope for reconciliation that clearly only he sees. Acknowledging the ex's flaws yet still making excuses for their behavior, only leaves the artist lost and unable to move forward. Delusional and slightly broken, the artist can't comprehend a life without a certain someone in it.
Following a soft, piano-led intro, Medrano singing of feeling alone even when in his lover's arms, the energy of the new song picks up when the chorus rolls around. However, the catchy production is juxtaposed with the artist's fragile vocal performance, simply masking the hurt and creating a short distraction from reality. The beats wrap nicely around Medrano's surprisingly calm and collective approach, likely struggling with an answer to a tough question.
Even as the artist tries to move on, finding temporary relief in a sea of new, beautiful faces, every stranger's kiss takes him back to the beginning of recovery. Medrano is adamant that he knows exactly who he is supposed to be with. "I know I deserve more than you, you took my heart, you stole my youth, boy I've got everything to lose, how do I live without you," the artist questions on the hook.
As with Medrano's previous releases, the new "Love Somebody Else" excels thanks to a willingness and need to be vulnerable, to share in the expected pain that comes with the deterioration of a relationship. Paired with a convincing delivery and honest songwriting, Medrano is continuing down a commendable path in an effort to extend his artistic reach and expand his audience. He is succeeding.
"Love Somebody Else" will immediately strike a relateable chord with listeners. The song demands constant play thanks to a repetitive yet enjoyable hook and rightfully puts the spotlight on an artist tirelessly working to find his own sound and voice, and in this case, the strength to leave a destructive past behind him for good.
