Sam Ryder has dropped his new song 'Somebody' along with the fun music video featuring several stunt doubles. 'Somebody' is the singer's first song since he came second in this year's Eurovision Song Contest with 'Space Man', which has become one of the most successful songs of this year.

Sam's music video features the singer doing some rather tricky moves, but as previously shared videos show, they were actually done by some stunt doubles with scarily similar wigs.

Earlier this month, Sam shared a video from behind-the-scenes of the music video shoot telling his fans: "Hey what's up! Here we are at the set of the new music video... Oh hey Sam!"

"Peace dude", replies a stunt double, before the real Sam continues: "Not you, this Sam... Hey Sam!"

After performing an impressive backflip, another stunt double says: "Hey Sam!".

Now that the music video has been released you can see the finished product in all its glory!

Talking about the new single Sam said: "'Somebody' is inspired by YOU! All of the kindness, positivity and joy we’ve experienced so far this year. Ultimately it’s about the joy of giving love and experiencing love."

The release of 'Somebody' comes two months after the singer announced his biggest tour yet, 'There's Nothing But Space, Man!', along with an album of the same name, due out later this year.
