Kacey Musgraves injects a little innocence in the song “Somebody to Love,” which her co-writer Shane McAnally says “sums up how we all feel.”
“I just really love the idea that everyone is just here living this existence and just looking for love, looking for somebody to love. I mean, I feel like that’s the human experience goal is that you just want somebody to love and somebody to love you in return,” says Kacey. “The idea, sometimes when I see people or meet people or I’m looking at my friends or whatever, I see like the little kid in them and I’m just like, it’s just easy for me to see each person as like the little boy or girl version of themselves. In the song, we say ‘we’re all just little kids looking for somebody to love.’
The tune, which was also written by Josh Osborne, is from Kacey’s new album, Pageant Material, due out Tuesday (June 23rd).

“‘Somebody to Love” is a special one to me. It’s one that I wrote with Shane McAnally and Josh Osborne. I just really love the idea that everyone is just here living this existence and just looking for love, looking for somebody to love. I mean, I feel like that’s the human experience goal is that you just want somebody to love and somebody to love you in return. The idea, sometimes when I see people or meet people or I’m looking at my friends or whatever, I see like the little kid in them and I’m just like, it’s just easy for me to see each person as like the little boy or girl version of themselves. In the song, we say ‘we’re all just little kids looking for somebody to love.’ And humans are a bunch of different things and have a bunch of different habits and tendencies, and that is just what the song is describing.”
