”‘Somebody Else’ is really about the one who got away,” Jackson tells HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “It’s about the one you know you had something with, but they didn’t recognize it until it was too late.” As the song proves, fans shouldn’t sleep on Loote before it’s too late. “Somebody Else” is a showcase of their songwriting expertise, and production.
Loote’s career began in the most unlikely of places. “When I first started writing songs, the first songs I wrote were for commercials, toy commercials specifically. I sang on a bunch of FurReal Friends and Littlest Pet Shop and My Little Pony commercials,” Emma told Odyssey in 2017. The two met at SUNY Purchase (“I was a freshman, and Jackson was a Junior,” said Emma) during a songwriting class. “.” It was our first assignment,” she added, “and our professor, who is one of the guys who discovered and developed Rihanna and actually ended up becoming our publisher, had just randomly assigned people together in the class. We found we had great chemistry and kept working together afterward, and eventually, we signed to Universal Music Publishing through that same professor.”
“Somebody Else” is out now.
