"'Someone'" is a song by American R&B group SWV, released as the second single from their third studio album 'Release Some Tension' on June 24, 1997. It features a guest appearance from American rapper and producer Sean Combs.

"Someone" peaked at number five on the US 'Billboard' Hot R&B Singles chart and number 19 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100, receiving a Gold certification from the Recording Industry Association of America.
