La Rose explained how the song came about : `` We had the whole song except for the hook. Hours later, Flo all of a sudden was like, ' I wan na rock with somebody ! ' And we were like, ' Yes ! That 's the moment we 've been waiting for, it all makes sense. ' '' She also said : `` We had this idea to base a song around Whitney 's first big hit, I Wanna Dance With Somebody. Getting permission to use a sample was pretty difficult. We were in the process of creating the song in Miami when Jeremih was there doing a Big Dreams for Kids Back to School event. Flo invited him to add a rap to the track and he nailed it on the first take. There was no grand plan to get Jeremih involved. He just happened to be in Miami at the right time. His rap adds that extra something which makes the track really special. '' `` Somebody '' is written in the key of A minor.
