“Sometimes the person you have been waiting for to save you is the person looking back at you in the mirror.”
CATLEA turns personal struggle into a powerful message of self-love and renewal on “Someone’s Got To,” an emotionally honest indie-pop release that transforms moments of doubt into a statement of strength. Released as the first single from the upcoming EP “Aftermath,” the song captures the difficult process of letting go of unhealthy patterns and learning to choose yourself. Built around intimate acoustic guitar, sweeping strings, and CATLEA’s expressive vocal delivery, “Someone’s Got To” carries a feeling of both vulnerability and hope. The song’s central lyric, “If you won’t love me then I will,” becomes more than a simple line about heartbreak. It feels like a personal promise — a moment of realizing that self-worth cannot always depend on someone else’s approval.
CATLEA’s songwriting has always been rooted in honesty, and this release represents one of their most personal moments yet. The track was born during a period of self-reflection, when they were confronting difficult habits, emotional struggles, and the need for change. What began as a fragile thought eventually became a powerful reminder that healing starts from within. The production gives the song space to breathe. Recorded across Barcelona, London, Cincinnati, and Israel, the track brings together a talented group of musicians, including guitarist and bassist Oscar Garcia-Bragado, producer Jason Boshoff, and string player Roni Seller. The combination of warm instrumentation and cinematic arrangements creates an atmosphere that feels deeply personal while still reaching for something bigger.
“Someone’s Got To” is not simply a breakup song. It is about rebuilding confidence, accepting imperfections, and finding the courage to move forward. CATLEA takes private pain and turns it into something listeners can connect with, especially anyone who has struggled with loneliness, self-doubt, or the search for belonging. With its emotional depth, memorable chorus, and inspiring message, “Someone’s Got To” shows why CATLEA continues to stand out as an artist unafraid to explore the complicated parts of being human. It is a song about choosing yourself — and sometimes, that choice can change everything.
