Part of the song's popularity may have stemmed from its inclusion on the soundtrack for the Cameron Crowe-produced ‘80s teen movie, Fast Times at Ridgemont High. According to People, the movie grossed roughly $50 million at the box office, an amount about 10 times the actual budget for the film.
Browne collaborated with Danny Kortchmar on the “Somebody’s Baby” lyrics, and Kortchmar already had the musical framework ready, including the memorable lyrical hook: “She must be somebody’s baby.”
According to American Songwriter, Browne didn’t understand the song’s important and resonant message until he met with a therapist, who changed his perception of the tune.
That highly relatable theme of wanting to feel loved took “Somebody’s Baby” to the No. 7 spot on the all-genre Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1982, spending 19 weeks on the chart. Eventually, Browne did include “Somebody’s Baby” on his later Solo Acoustic, Vol. 2 album in 2008.
