Something About You is the third studio album by American singer Angela Bofill, released in 1981 on Arista Records.[2][3][4]
After the release of Angel of the Night, Bofill left GRP Records and joined its distributor Arista in hopes of expanding her crossover success. In spite of the controversies surrounding Bofill and GRP, the album managed to sell, but with less success than her first two albums.
In 2002, Something About You was digitally remastered and re-released on Arista Records with extra tracks.
