The song is not listed in any music publishing databases. No official information has been provided about its origin and the reason it was never released.
On October 21, 2007, Spears was being approached by paparazzi in public. In response to a question regarding her next single, she reportedly stated that it would be released in December and that it was titled "Someone," though it remains unclear who the "someone" referred to.
