Something About You (Jamelia song)


"Something About You" is a song by English singer-songwriter Jamelia, released as the lead single from her third studio album, Walk with Me. The single was released on 11 September 2006 through a CD single, digital download, DVD single and vinyl. Jamelia described the sound of the single as being more "experimental and not as "R&B" as her previous material". It received positive reviews from music critics, some of whom likened its sound to other Soulpower productions such as JoJo's "Leave " and "Coming For You" which meld rock and pop characteristics.

Music video

The video premiered on Channel 4 in August 2006
The video begins with 2 scenes alternating between her doing various poses against a glass window and her standing by a bed, showing the camera zooming out to show a man.
