10 Huge Nickelback Anthems You Won't Admit You Love

8. Gotta' Be Somebody

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q0VRj2uw9L0 It's scientific fact, when the drums kick in for 'Gotta' Be Somebody', it's literally impossible not to start tapping your feet. By the time the feelgood chorus comes along, you're jumping around your living room, fists pumping in the air, whilst the neighbours look at you, jealous, through the windows. At least, they're probably jealous. Perfecting the art of catchy hooks, Nickelback are the masters of crafting songs that just beg to be played in massive stadiums, where everyone can get together and feel good about the world, no doubt posting on Instagram about the 'best nite EVERRRR! x'. Come to think of it, the band do an admirable job of writing tunes which fit multiple occasions. On the surface, this one sounds upbeat and happy, but it's actually about rejection, loss and hoping for better. Regardless, science is right, you're singing along right now.
