"Someone Like Me" was written by Ciaron Bell and Liz McClarnon, and produced by Bell. A slight altercation was made to the song for the single release. On the album version of the song, Liz performs the opening and second verses of the song. For the single version, Liz's vocals were removed from the second verse and Jenny's were added. The 2004 version of "Right Now" was never placed on an album, and was only released as a single. The song is completely different to the original version, and is much more dance oriented.
The music video for "Someone Like Me" features all three girls in white clothes in a room which is plain white. While Liz plays the piano to start of the video, the other two girls are seen lying down on a sofa, and then a view is shown of the girls from outside the room, by a door opening. The video is simple and basic.

Tour Edition Single[1]
The song peaked on the UK Singles Chart at number eight, subsequently going on to sell 50,000 copies in the UK alone, making it a moderate success. The single was released in Taiwan in June 2004. It went in straight at number one, topping the charts for four weeks. It stayed in the top ten for 11 weeks, and nine months later, went back into the top 10 for another four weeks. This was around the time Atomic Kitten released their third Compilation Album, "Access All Areas: Remixed and B-Sides."[2] The single was also a top 20 hit in The Republic Of Ireland, going straight in at number 18. The single also did reasonably well in Belgium, where it went in at number 8, making it into the top 10. The single didn't do very well in The Netherlands, Germany, and Switzerland, which is thought to be due to low promotion.
