New Music: Robin Thicke – “When You Love Somebody”

By Ni'Kesia Pannell on Sep 27, 2019

If you’re in the mood for love, you’re in luck! Robin Thicke has just released his sweet new single, “When You Love Somebody” and it’s all you need for your Friday love song playlist.

Backed by an airy instrumental, the veteran crooner — who will join Fantasia on her “Sketchbook” Tour this fall — sings out about what it means to truly love someone. Softly cooing out lyrics like “Cause when you love somebody / And need somebody / No need to fight it / So help me help you love somebody,” the romantic track is guaranteed to find a home at many weddings moving forward.

The new release follows March’s “That’s What Love Can Do” — another sultry love song offered up by the singer.

Take a listen to “When You Love Somebody” below.
