"Someone" is written by Matthew Koma and produced by Greg Kurstin. Koma wrote the song while he was still finishing recording with his debut studio album, Arcadia. Lyrically, it is a trance ballad of ambivalence following a breakup in a relationship, in which the singer derides her lover by singing a false apology for saying the "shitty" things him while also hoping for him to find someone to love in life.New York Daily News chief music critic Jim Farber remarked that the song is a classic non-apology apology ballad, saying that she wishes she didn't have to say such awful things to a foe. Containing a censored profane word, the song made Piece by Piece her first studio album to be censored by the Australian Recording Industry Association.
Prior to the release of Piece by Piece, Clarkson shared the lyrics of the chorus of "Someone" on her website.
