This song that has a soft pop genre is a song released following the release of “One of a Million.” “One of a Million” is a fan song that is included on Twicecoaster: Lane 1 EP. In “One in a Million,” it describes how special the person is until they are one in a million, while in “Someone Like Me,” it states that they are not going to be able to find someone that they love and love them the way they love right now. The soft pop song that features the usage of the electric guitar is a song that is suitable to listen to in a calm situation because of how sweet and soft it sounds. The lyrics of “Someone Like Me” are written by Park Won, and the music composers and producers for this song are Ronny Vidar Svendsen, Anne Judith Stokke Wik, Nermin Harambasic, and Moa Anna Maria Carlebecker. Cazzi Opeia also participated as a background vocalist in “Someone Like Me.” Kwon Young Chan and Park Won participated in vocal production for “Someone Like Me.”

This song can be counted as a fan song, so it is suitable to be performed at a concert and sang directly to the fans. Imagine hearing the song being sung by TWICE on a huge stage. It is such a wonderful experience, right?. Luckily, this song was included in the setlist for several TWICE concerts like their Twiceland tour and their Once Halloween fan meeting.
