Content edit
"Something's Gotta Give" is an up-tempo song describing a female character named Jenny who is in her thirties, but unable to find a male companion who is suitable for her, after having failed several times.[1] In the chorus, she says that "something's gotta give" for her to find the one that she wants.
Music video edit
The music video shows Rimes portraying every female role. She performs the song in different parts of a loft, and tries to find the perfect man. Every person that shows up at her door fails to impress her. As she is carrying a load of laundry, she bumps into one final guy, making her drop a bra. She gives him a happy smirk, and realizes he is the one she was looking for. He picks her bra up from the floor, and the two end up cuddling on the couch with a teddy bear he gave her.
