If I Needed Someone by The Beatles, featured on the album Rubber Soul, is a love song that explores the idea of conditional affection and the existential nuances of needing someone. Written by George Harrison, this song delves into themes of love, longing, and the hypothetical scenario of needing someone specific in one's life. A particularly poignant moment is the refrain 'If I needed someone to love / You're the one that I'd be thinking of,' which signifies a deep, yet conditional acknowledgment of the person's importance. The jangly guitar work and harmonious vocals add to the emotive quality of the track.
