"Somewhere Out There", also known as "Gravity", is a 2002 single by Canadian rock band Our Lady Peace from the album Gravity. It was the most successful single of that album and is also the most internationally successful single ever released by Our Lady Peace.
The correct title of the song is indeed "Somewhere Out There", however the specific chorus lyrics "defying gravity" and the fact that the album is titled Gravity, led some to believe that the title of the song was "Gravity". The song is mislabeled as such in some search engines, lyric websites, and P2P file-sharing programs.
The song is one of Our Lady Peace's most successful singles to date, having been very popular both in Canada and the United States. Many critics praised the single, but some also criticized it for being "too mainstream", saying that the artistic uniqueness that Our Lady Peace possessed in former albums was absent here.
In Our Lady Peace's most recent album, A Decade, which includes many of Our Lady Peace's greatest hits, "Somewhere Out There" is featured.
In 2007, the beginning riff of the song was featured in a TV ad for the FOX television network.
"Somewhere Out There" is a song written by James Horner, Barry Mann and Cynthia Weil. It appears in the 1986 animated film An American Tail.
The lyrics describe, as in the film's story, the bond between two siblings and their optimistic hope in being able to see one another again after being separated. The song was sung by Phillip Glasser (for the character of the brother in the film) and Betsy Cathcart (for the character of the sister).
A professionally sung version performed by Linda Ronstadt and James Ingram was also recorded for the closing credits. The Ronstadt-Ingram single went to #2 on the Billboard Hot 100 singles chart in March of 1987.
