"Someone's Got To" by Catlea is an acoustic pop track that guides you on that journey toward a more authentic relationship with yourself, inspired by the artist's path to sobriety.
Written at a time of personal crisis, the song addresses the problem of alcohol addiction but does not avoid the ambivalent feelings of recovery. This is about the harder work of facing dependence, identifying maladaptive coping skills, and learning to love yourself.
The song's honesty is also strengthened by its personal nature, and Catlea says the first writing process started with a more positive confession that more self-love and self-care were needed. It's that point where you know you have to change things, but you don't know how to change things.
The shift in "Someone's Got To" isn't a quick, hard turn but a patient journey toward self-knowledge. Catlea's contemplative, meditative work is informed by a deeply personal experience and reflects on accountability, openness, and the possibility of healing. The song's greatness lies in the realization that change can be the honest admission that it's time for things to change.
