Someday (Nickelback song)

"Someday" is a song by Canadian rock band Nickelback. The lyrics were written by band members Chad Kroeger, Mike Kroeger, and Ryan Peake, while the music was composed by the entire band. Produced by Nickelback and Joey Moi, "Someday" is a guitar-driven rock ballad that lacks keyboards and orchestral strings—the sound heard at the beginning is actually an electric guitar played with an EBow. The song was included on Nickelback's fourth studio album, The Long Road (2003), and was released as its lead single. The song was serviced to US modern rock radio on 28 July 2003 and was released commercially in several countries throughout 2003, staring with Japan in late August.

Upon its release, "Someday" gave Nickelback their first Canadian number-one single, topping the Canadian Singles Chart for three weeks in September and October 2003. It was also successful in the United States, becoming Nickelback's longest-charting hit on two Billboard pop airplay charts, reaching number two on both the Mainstream and Modern Rock Tracks charts, and peaking at number seven on the main Hot 100 chart. Outside North America, the song entered the top 10 in four countries and the top 40 in eight others. Nickelback promoted the song by filming a music video directed by Nigel Dick and by performing the song live on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno.
