Being Somebody is the second studio album by English-Irish pop vocal group Liberty X. It was released on 3 November 2003 via V2 Records. Arriving eighteen months after their debut album, Thinking It Over (2002), the record saw the group reunite with production teams The BigPockets and Goldust while expanding their creative network to include Richard X, Mark Hill, Mike Peden and Marius De Vries, among others. Band member Tony Lundon also took on a larger creative role, producing three tracks and solely writing one song, while his fellow group members contributed to the songwriting throughout the album.
Critical reception for Being Somebody was mixed to positive, with critics praising its polished R&B sound, strong singles and songwriting contributions, while criticizing its inconsistent quality, lack of clear direction and occasional overproduction. Commercially, the album achieved moderate success, debuting and peaking at number 12 on the UK Albums Chart to become Liberty X's second consecutive top-20 album, and was later certified Gold by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) after selling 100,000 copies in the UK. The album spawned two UK top-10 singles, "Jumpin'" and the mashup single "Being Nobody."
