After dominating 2024 with consistent hits and standout features, Latto made it clear she’s not just here to play - she’s here to stay. Her confident energy, sharp lyricism, and ability to ride any beat earned her a top-tier seat in the rap game. But as 2025 rolled in, fans noticed a quieter start from the Queen of Da South. That’s beginning to change with her latest single, 'Somebody'.

Sampling Aaliyah’s iconic 1998 track 'Are You That Somebody?' from The Nutty Professor soundtrack, Latto taps into a smoother, more nostalgic sound. It’s a bold move, flipping such a beloved R&B classic, but she handles it with care. The production is laid-back, evoking late ’90s R&B vibes while giving it a modern polish. Over this silky backdrop, Latto delivers introspective bars touching on love, trust, and the longing for something genuine.
'Somebody' shows growth, maturity, and a willingness to explore new creative spaces. If this is a taste of the direction she’s heading in for 2025, we might be witnessing the start of Latto’s next evolution.
