Country music superstar Keith Urban has revealed which one of his many songs is his favorite! The New Zealand-born artist favors “Somebody Like You” above all.
“That song I feel immense gratitude for, the spirit of it, the heart of it, how universal it feels. How timeless it feels,” Keith shared with Kix Brooks while appearing on Kix TV. “How it means something different each tour… the words haven’t changed at all, but it’s different.”

Urban co-wrote “Somebody Like You” and released the track in July 2002 as the first single from his 2002 album Golden Road. The song spent six weeks at number one on the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart and peaked at number 23 on the Billboard Hot 100. Billboard also named it the number one country song of the first decade of the 21st century in 2009.

“Somebody Like You” Lyrics
There’s a new wind blowing like I’ve never known
I’m breathing deeper than I’ve even done
And it sure feels good to finally feel the way I do
And I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
And I let go of all my lonely yesterdays
I’ve forgiven myself for the mistakes I’ve made
Now there’s just one thing the only thing I want to do
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
Yeah I want to feel the sunshine
Shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
You let me know there’s nothing in this world I can’t do
I used to run in circles going nowhere fast
I’d take one step forward and took two steps back
I couldn’t walk a straight line even if I wanted to
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
Oh here we go now, ooo, yeah,
Hey I want to love ya baby,
Oh oh, oh oh
Yea I want to feel the sunshine
Shining down on me and you
When you put your arms around me
Well baby there ain’t nothing in this world I can’t do
Sometime it’s hard for me to understand
But your teaching me to be a better man
I don’t want to take this life for granted like I used to do, no no
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
I’m ready to love somebody, love somebody like you
I want to love somebody, love somebody like you
Hey I want to love ya baby, ah uh
I want to be the man in the middle of the night shining like it’s true
I wanna to be the man that you run to whenever I call on you
When everything that loved someone finally found it’s way
I wanna be a better man I can see it in you yeah
Hey I want to love you baby
Ah ah yeah, na na na na na
