Overall Meaning

After School's song "Someone Is You" tells the story of a person who is looking for love and believes they have found it in someone special. The first verse describes the person's feelings before they meet this new love interest, saying that they had not seen it before but now that they have, they cannot ignore it any longer. The chorus expresses the singer's emotions and desire to be with this person, asking if they are the one that they have been searching for. The second verse features several of the band members talking about their experiences with love, and their expectations for the future of their relationships. The bridge expresses a yearning to be with the person they love more and more, and the outro reinforces the idea that this person is the one that they have been searching for, and that they are ready to commit to them.

One interesting fact about the song is that it was written and produced by the famous hit-makers "Brave Brothers", who have been responsible for many chart-topping K-pop hits over the years. Another interesting fact is that the group's leader Kahi co-wrote the lyrics to the song, showing her skills not just as a performer but also as a songwriter. Additionally, the music video for the song features several scenes filmed in the famous Shibuya Crossing in Tokyo, Japan. The Japanese connection is fitting since After School has always been very popular there. Also, the song's chorus samples the melody from the Mamas & the Papas' 1965 hit "California Dreamin'", adding a retro and nostalgic touch to the song.

Another interesting tidbit is that the song's release was significant because it marked a change in the band's sound and creative direction. It was one of their first singles that did not feature regular member Bekah, who had just officially graduated from the group. As a four-member group, they showcased a different style of music and image that was more mature and sophisticated. Additionally, the music video for the song features cameo appearances by other K-pop idols, including members of BEAST and MBLAQ.

Unfortunately, the chords to "Someone Is You" are not publicly available.
