Music video
Background
Somebody Like Me was filmed on a location in Los Angeles & directed by 'Jesse Vaughn'. During a visit to the set, Silkk talked with 'MTV News' about the "opposites attract" message behind the video and explained why Ma was the only girl for him ... at least in the song. Commenting, "People go through this [situation] a lot and sometimes it'll be that people's perfect matches [come from] different sides of the track. It might be a good person-bad person or a good person and a not-so-well-liked person that get together, and I think that we go through that a lot." Silkk elaborated further on the message, "So I just tried to express that with this song and I think that a lot of people are gonna appreciate the song, even if they don't go through something like that. I still think they'll appreciate it cause it's real. It ain't real between me and Ma, it's just what we're doing up there. I just thought that she could probably help me come across on it better, so that's why I chose her for the song." 'MTV News' confirmed Somebody Like Me was expected to begin airing in February.Track listing
