"Someone's Watching over Me" is a pop song written by Kara DioGuardi and John Shanks, and produced by Shanks for Hilary Duff's self-titled second album, Hilary Duff (2004). Jeff Rothschild and Shanks mixed the song.[1] It was released as the album's second single outside the U.S. in 2005 (see 2005 in music), and in Australia it peaked at number twenty-two and remained in the top forty for nine weeks.[2] The single's B-side is a cover of The Who's "My Generation".

The song had a role in the plot of the 2004 film Raise Your Voice, in which Duff stars; in the film, which is set at a performing arts summer school, Terri (played by Duff) writes the song with her fellow student Jay (Oliver James) and performs it at the film's climax in front of the students, staff and parents. The performance scene served as the single's video, which premiered on the program rage on ABC Broadband in mid-January.[3]
