"'Something Goin' On (In Your Soul)'" is a song by American DJ, record producer and remixer Todd Terry featuring American singers Martha Wash and Jocelyn Brown on vocals. It was released as the second single from Terry's debut album, 'Ready for a New Day' (1997). The song peaked within the top 5 in both Italy and the UK, peaking at number four and five. It also reached number-one on the UK Dance Singles Chart and the US 'Billboard' Hot Dance Club Play chart. The original song title was shortened to "Something Goin On" upon its release as a single, even though the full title was listed on the album.
As the follow-up to their successful version of "Keep on Jumpin'", which also reached number-one on the Hot Dance Club Play chart in 1996, it would become the second of two back to back number-ones on the chart for this collaboration between the three artists.

Daisy & Havoc from 'RM' gave it five out of five, picking it as Tune of the Week.
