"Somebody Loves You" was released in 1999 as the lead single from Nik's fifth studio album 15 Minutes.
Of the track, Nik said in interviews "[The song is] about being on stage and being famous. It's a negative look on what you get when you are famous, and when I was famous. I became the person I was playing in publicity. You know, you walk into a room. You didn't have to try too hard. Everyone knew who you were. It's just the images and pictures for me of that time, when I was onstage and saw the faces singing all those songs back to me. It was weird. And the chorus, 'Somebody Loves You', that's really what it feels like. There is all this love coming back towards you. You have stop and think, 'How much of that is really you?' You aren't what they think you are."

Coinciding with the release of 'EI8HT' in 2012, the final show of the corresponding tour, at the Shepherd's Bush Empire on the 28th September, featured all Nik's hits old and new; and the album 'Human Racing' was played in its entirety during the second half of the show. That incredible night was recorded for DVD release later that year and has now been remastered for RU-vid.
