"Someone Else" is a song by Dutch singer Duncan Laurence. It was released as a digital download on 13 May 2020 by Spark Records as the third single from his debut extended play Worlds on Fire. The song was written by Brett McLaughlin, Bram Inscore, Jonny Price, Duncan Laurence and PJ Harding.

Background

Talking about the song, Laurence said that he thinks the story behind the song is something that many people can connect with, "'Someone Else' is about the feeling you can get when you're all by yourself and your head starts spinning and replaying memories of a previous relationship. The emotional roller coaster of constantly thinking of that one person you loved so deeply but who you can't be with anymore. I think it’s a feeling a lot of people go through right now. Where you normally find comfort and distraction in your daily life, these days you are confronted almost every minute with those thoughts: like breaking up with a loved one and going crazy at the thought they’ve maybe already moved on to someone else."[1]

Live performances

On 16 May 2020, Laurence performed the song live on Eurovision: Europe Shine a Light. It replaced the Eurovision Song Contest 2020, which was planned to be held in Rotterdam, Netherlands, but was cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The show was broadcast live from Hilversum, Netherlands.[2][3]
