"Somewhere in My Car" is a song co-written and recorded by New Zealand-born Australian country music singer Keith Urban. It was released in June 2014 as the fourth international single and fifth overall from his 2013 album Fuse. In December 2014, it became Urban's sixteenth number one single on the Country Airplay chart. The song was written by Urban and J. T. Harding.

The song is an uptempo, guitar-driven breakup song about a male recalling a failed relationship and wishing that he and his lover were "somewhere in [his] car". It is in the key of B-flat major with a main chord pattern of E–B–Gm–F.

Country music blog Taste of Country described the song favorably, saying that "One can’t ignore his guitar solo. It screams ’80s rock, while the rest of the song is distinctively modern. The new 'modern' comes with a strong ’80s influence, however, and 'Somewhere in My Car' rides blissfully along in that niche." Giving it an "A", Bob Paxman of Country Weekly wrote that "Keith [Urban] goes on to deliver the goods in a song that deftly mashes lyrical content with instrumentation to create the overall mood." He also praised the use of a wah-wah pedal on the solo, as well as Urban's singing voice.

The music video was directed by John Urbano and premiered in September 2014.

"Somewhere in My Car" debuted on Billboard's Country Digital Songs chart at number 42 when the album Fuse was released in September 2013. After it was chosen as a single in June 2014, the song entered the Country Airplay chart at number 59 the same week, and appeared on the Hot Country Songs chart a month later. As the song gained airplay, the song entered the Hot 100 chart at number 91 for the week of September 13, 2014. It reached number one on the Country Airplay chart and number 49 on the Hot 100 chart for the week of December 6, 2014. The song has sold 450,000 copies in the US as of February 2015.
