Season 5 finalist Bucky Covington has released a new single, "Gotta Be Somebody." The song is a #1 hit for Nickelback, written by band members Chad Kroeger and Ryan Peake, along with co-producer Joey Moi. "Gotta Be Somebody" is the new single from Bucky's upcoming sophomore album, I'm Alright, releasing spring 2010.
