"I'm Gonna Be Somebody" is a song written by Jill Colucci and Stewart Harris, and recorded by American country music artist Travis Tritt.

The song is a moderate up-tempo describing a young male named Bobby, who lives in a lower-class community with rather difficult economical issues.

Bobby is an aspiring young singer and musician whose lifelong dream is to have a successful career in the music business; however, people in his community beg to differ and advise Bobby to instead choose a more realistic source of income, as they believe a career in music is not a good option.

Bobby quietly ignores their advice and continues his quest to pursue his dreams and prove all of the nonbelievers wrong.

A decade passes before Bobby finally achieves those dreams; he is now one of the most successful recording artists (presumably in country music) with a top concert tour and number-one radio singles to his credit.
