“Somebody to Love” foi escrita e gravada pela primeira vez pela banda folk‑psicodélica Great Society antes de ser adotada pelo Jefferson Airplane.
Na sessão de gravação de *Surrealistic Pillow*, a versão do Jefferson Airplane se destacou por seu som de hard‑rock, contrastando com o estilo mais folk da banda.
O single atingiu o 5.º lugar na Billboard Hot 100, tornando‑se o maior sucesso da banda.
A música aparece como faixa completa no filme *Four Brothers*, tocada na abertura de um rádio do cenário do filme.
A letra, em segunda pessoa, descreve alienação e desespero em versos de dois versos, com o refrão repetindo “Don't you need somebody to love?” em variações sutis.
A gravação de Jefferson Airplane foi classificada como a 274ª melhor música da história pela Rolling Stone em sua lista dos 500 maiores.
