"Somebody That I Used to Know"
Song

"Somebody That I Used to Know" is a song by Belgian-Australian singer and songwriter Gotye from his third studio album Making Mirrors, and features New Zealand singer Kimbra. The song was written by Gotye himself, lyrically about the experiences he has had with relationships. The song was released on 6 July 2011 as the second and lead single from the album.

The song was released to critical acclaim by music critics and a surprising success in Australia, peaking at #1 in the country for eight weeks, becoming the longest running Australian song since Savage Garden's 1996 song "Truly Madly Deeply".[1] It went on to win Triple J Hottest 100 poll at the end of 2011, as well as ARIA Awards for song of the year and best video, while Kimbra was voted best female artist and Gotye was named best male artist and producer of the year.[2]

By mid-April 2012, the song had reached #1 on the music charts in 18 countries, particularly in Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, Germany, Austria, Ireland, Denmark, and the USA.[2] On 12 February 2012, the song topped the charts in the United Kingdom for the week ending 18 February 2012 and climbed back to #1 for another week on 26 February 2012, staying in that position for further four weeks.[3] In Kimbra's home country, New Zealand, the song has also reached #1. It is Gotye and Kimbra's most successful single and their first #1 song in Australia and New Zealand, also causing their previous singles and albums to chart in the top 100 in Australia. In the United States, the song became a crossover hit peaking at number one on both the Rock Songs, Alternative Songs, and Hot Dance Club Songs charts—the first song to top all three charts simultaneously—while also having charted at number one on the Billboard Hot 100.[4][5] As of April 2012, the song had sold 4.5 million copies worldwide according to Universal Republic.[4]

After a number of high profile television appearances in the USA in April 2012, including The Voice on 2 April 2012; Glee on 10 April 2012; American Idol on 11 April 2012;[6] and Gotye and Kimbra's performance on Saturday Night Live on 14 April 2012, it topped the iTunes Top 100 Singles chart with 542,000 downloads,[7] the fourth highest since SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003.[2] On 18 April 2012, the song reached #1 on the Billboard Hot 100, making it the first Australian single to do so since Savage Garden's "I Knew I Loved You" in 2000.[2] As of 9 May 2012, the song’s official video on YouTube had been viewed 200 million times.[2]

History

"Somebody That I Used to Know" was released on 6 July 2011, debuting at #27 on the Australian ARIA Top 50 chart.[8] The single picked up significant radio play, rising to #3 after just four weeks on the chart, and reached #1 on 15 August 2011.[9] The single was released on 8 August 2011 in Belgium and the Netherlands, reaching #1 in both countries after a few weeks.

On 15 July 2011, it was announced that the song had come third in the 2011 Vanda & Young Songwriting Competition.[10]

Composition

The song was produced and written by Gotye in his parents' barn on the Mornington Peninsula, Victoria where it was recorded. The song begins sampling Luiz Bonfá's track "Seville" along with the beats playing and a sparse xylophone solo. Gotye sings, seemingly addressing a past lover, discussing the ways in which he reminisces sometimes, and the nature of love. His voice then leaps an octave for the chorus, in which he expresses distaste at how he was treated "like a stranger" during the breakup, the stronger tone matching the hurt of the sentiment. Kimbra then sings her verse, seemingly in response, declaring that she too felt hurt at her treatment during the relationship, and was "screwed [...] over" yet made to feel it was her fault. Her voice rises in the chorus with a different melody, creating a polyphonic effect, and though harmonious it is almost as if the two voices are in argument, fitting the relationship breakdown theme of the song. After the second chorus, Gotye continues to perform the chorus as the song fades. The song finishes with Gotye and Kimbra both saying 'somebody'. [citation needed]

In an interview, Gotye stated that the song was "definitely drawn from various experiences I've had in relationships breaking up, and in the parts of the more reflective parts of the song, in the aftermath and the memory of those different relationships and what they were and how they broke up and what's going on in everyone's minds. Yeah, so it's an amalgam of different feelings but not completely made up as such."

In an interview with Rolling Stone Australia, he described the song as "a curated reflection of multiple past relationships", but revealed the chorus was directly related to one ex-girlfriend. He stated: "It wasn't a nasty break-up, but it was messy in the sense that we hurt each other more than we needed to because it wasn’t a clean break... We both realised we had to move on and we haven’t seen each other since."[11]

Reception

Critical reception

Besides the commercial success, it also received critical acclaim. Take40 Australia elaborated on the single's reception at the 2011 Splendour in the Grass festival; "Gotye's latest song featuring Kimbra 'Somebody That I Used to Know' had become somewhat of an unofficial anthem for the festival... every car was cranking it over their speakers all day, every day... and the question on everyone's lips was whether or not Kimbra would join him on the track. Fortunately, dreams came true... he smashed out an incredible set climaxing with a version of the song with Kimbra on co-lead vocals that people couldn't stop talking about all weekend long."[12] Writing for Digital Spy, Lewis Corner rated the song four stars out of five and described it as "a Bon Iver-styled ballad for the music-buying masses".[13] Bill Lamb of About.com gave the song the perfect rating of five stars stating, "Pop perfection does not come along often, but Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know" is flawless." He also said that while it is not flashy, the song is memorable and destined to be a classic. He explained it reminded him of Human League's "Don't You Want Me" and Sting. He concluded that "Somebody That I Used to Know" will be one of the top songs of 2012.[14] The song has been predicted as a future UK hit by music blog This Must Be Pop.[15]

John Watson, who co-manages Gotye with Danny Rogers, said of the single's success: "We've never seen any song make a deeper or more immediate connection with so many people. It's a really special recording and video."[16]

Commercial performance

The song went on to be an international success, and by May 16, 2012 had charted in the top 20 in 30 countries with 23 of them being at number one, and a further 6 in the top 10.

"Somebody That I Used to Know" first appeared on the Australian ARIA Singles Chart at number 27 in late July 2011. Despite a lack of airplay on commercial stations (triple j had been playing the song regularly prior to its release), the song climbed up to number one on 15 August, becoming Gotye and Kimbra's most successful song. The success was a huge achievement for Kimbra who was not well known in Australia. It also became Gotye's highest peaking single and third to chart in the top 100 after the album's first single "Eyes Wide Open" and his 2007 song "Hearts a Mess". During the number-one run, his album Making Mirrors debuted at number one at the same time, becoming the first Australian since Silverchair's 2006 single "Straight Lines" and its album Young Modern to have both the album and its single to peak at the top spot at the same time. On 3 October, the song became the second-longest-running Australian song (at 8 weeks) tied with Savage Garden's 1997 song "Truly Madly Deeply", behind Daddy Cool's 1971 hit "Eagle Rock" at 10 weeks. The single has since been certified nine times platinum in Australia for sales exceeding 630,000 units.

In Kimbra's home country of New Zealand, the song made a huge debut at #4 in late August 2011. The song made it to #1 three weeks later, becoming the first Australian song to peak at #1 on the charts since Guy Sebastian's single "Who's That Girl" in February 2011.[17] "Somebody That I Used to Know" peaked at #1 for 5 weeks and has been certified 4× Platinum.

The song debuted on the Irish Singles Chart on 13 January 2012 at #47. In January the single rose to #9 on the chart and subsequently hit #1.

In the United States, the "Somebody that I Used To Know" debuted at number ninety-one on the Billboard Hot 100 on 14 January 2012. In its fifteenth week on the chart, the song rose to number one with sales of 542,000 downloads. It is the fourth-biggest weekly sales since Nielsen SoundScan began tracking digital sales in 2003.[18] In the United Kingdom, "Somebody That I Used to Know" spent five non-consecutive weeks at number one. As of April 2012 it had sold 800,000 copies in the UK and it is currently the best-selling single of 2012 so far.[4]

In Belgium, the song spent 12 weeks at number one. As of April 2012, it's the most downloaded song ever in Belgium.[19]

As of March 2012, it's the 3rd best-selling download ever in Germany with digital sales between 500,000 and 600,000.[20][21]

As of April 2012, it's officially the most successful song in the history of the Dutch charts.[22]

After its performance by Matt Bomer and Darren Criss on Glee on 10 April 2012; its performance as a duet by Phillip Phillips and Elise Testone on the eleventh season of American Idol before more than 16 million viewers on 11 April 2012;[6] and Gotye and Kimbra's performance on Saturday Night Live on 14 April 2012, it topped the iTunes Top 100 Singles chart with over 500,000 downloads.[7]

On May 2, 2012 the song became the first to reach digital sales of at least 400,000 for three consecutive weeks.[23] A week later, it exceeded download sales of 4 million in the USA.[24]

On May 9, 2012 the song had topped the US Billboard Hot 100 charts for the fourth consecutive week; the Alternative Songs chart for its tenth week, passing Everlast's "What It's Like" (nine weeks in 1998-99) as the longest-reigning No. 1 by a soloist in the chart's 23-year history; and reached No.1 on both Dance/Club Play Songs and Dance/Mix Show Airplay, the first song ever to top these four charts simultaneously.[25] Gary Trust of Billboard indicates: "While 'Somebody' might seem like an odd candidate for club play, considering the original version's sparse, rock-flavored production, the song has won support in dance circles courtesy of remixes by Thin Red Men, Tiesto and others."[26]

On May 16, 2012 the song remained at No.1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for a fifth consecutive week, thus passing Bruno Mars' "Grenade" (four weeks at No. 1 in January/February 2011) and "Just the Way You Are" (four weeks, October 2010) for the longest reign by a lead solo male artist since Eminem's "Love the Way You Lie", featuring Rihanna, which led for seven weeks in the summer of 2010.[27] At that time, the song reached No.2 on Radio Songs (132 million, up 7%), while remaining atop Digital Songs (321,000, down 8%) and On-Demand Songs (1.3 million, down 8%).[28]

Music video

The music video premiered when it was controversially leaked on Take 40 Australia's website. It later premiered on his YouTube channel and had its television premiere on the Australian music show rage on 30 July. The video was directed, produced and edited by Natasha Pincus.

The music video for the single is well received for its artistic style, picking up 200,000 views in its first two weeks, as well as receiving promotion on Twitter by actor Ashton Kutcher[16] and Katy Perry. As of May 2012, the video has over 211 million views on YouTube.

On Christmas Day 2011, it was revealed that the video for "Somebody That I Used to Know" was voted #1 in the annual Rage Fifty countdown. In January 2012, music video blog Yes, We've Got a Video! ranked it as the #1 video of 2011, describing it as a "unique, artistic experience."[29] Andy Samberg and Taran Killam parodied the video in a Saturday Night Live "digital short" that coincided with Gotye's 14 April 2012 performance on the show.

Cover versions and media appearances

The song has been covered by many artists such as Ingrid Michaelson, Pentatonix, Freak Morice and Sam Tsui.[30] Canadian band Walk off the Earth's version sent to Youtube in January went viral.[31] In February 2012, Rita Ora covered the song at BBC Radio 1's Live Lounge.[32] A cover by Right The Stars featuring Karmina, which was also uploaded to Youtube, was recommended by Miley Cyrus.[33] Dutch DJ Tiësto did a remix of the song which appears on his album Club Life: Volume Two Miami.[34] Boyce Avenue also covered the song.
