Someday
Someday is the first song from Flipsyde's self-titled group album We the People, released in 2005. NBC picked Someday as the theme music for its 2006 Winter Olympics programming, believing that the song's vibe will appeal to a younger audience. While the track did not perform well in the US chart, the attention from Olympic viewers resulted in a rise in record sales. Due to their new popularity, the band Flipsyde was also invited to make an appearance in the 2006 Winter Season.
Two MVs were created for Someday: one for NBC starring ice skaters Apolo Anton Ohno and Michelle Kwan, and the other was the official video. Furthermore, the music was later used during the 2008 movie Never Back Down.
In 2016, Patrick Ryan (from USA Today) lauded the record as one of the "greatest Olympic theme songs" due to its "unique fusion of rapping and Spanish guitar." According to Troy Farah (from the Phoenix New Times), it was "an obvious effort by NBC to get the new generation interested in the Olympics”. On the contrary, Travis Jones (from The Sydney Morning Herald), on the other hand, condemned the song due to its lyrical substance, which he believed had no relevance to Olympics.
