According to MIX1079Online, they -

heard it at one of the American Idol partys in LA…its really good!

Neon Limelight has a cute little blurb on the song:

Didn’t quite want to wait to hear David Archuleta’s new single? You’re in luck–well, sort of.

The American Idol season 7 star decided to give fans a little taste of what they can expect from the single, titled Something ‘Bout Love, by releasing a clip to his mobile hotline fan club fans.

In the minute long snippet, David sings about the ups and downs of being in love. “There’s something ’bout love that breaks your heart/Whoa-oh-oh-oh/That sets you free,” Archie sings on what it sure to be a painfully addictive chorus.

Arch Angels wanting to hear to full song will be able to when it premieres on David’s official website on July 13. The single will have its official iTunes release July 20.

USA Today’s Idol Chatter had a little review of what it heard so far:

David Archuleta is giving fans a chance to call in to hear a sample of his new single, Something ‘Bout Love. On Monday afternoon, he tweeted: “I am previewing my brand NEW single right NOW at 801-386-8196! Call in to hear it first! Let me know what you guys think! Thanks!”

It’s a mid-tempo tune with a steady dance beat (think a kinder, gentler My Life Would Suck Without You) and Owl City-like synthesizers, plus a catchy whoa-oh-oh-oh line in the chorus that should have fans singing right along.

More buzz from All Headline News:

Los Angeles, CA, United States (AHN) – David Archuleta is preparing to return to the music scene. It should be no surprise to his fans that on his second studio album, he’s going to be singing something about love.

“Something ‘Bout Love” is the first single to lead Archuleta’s upcoming new album. The dance-fueled track is a slight departure for the 19-year-old “American Idol” runner-up.

The radio-friendly track features a signature, catchy chorus like Archuleta delivered on his hit “Crush” (complete with some hooky woah-oh-ohs) with the rock and dance beats reminiscent of Kelly Clarkson’s “My Life Would Suck Without You.”

Fans can already hear a preview of the track by calling a special hotline at 801.386.8196, while the song is slated to debut exclusively in full at Archuleta’s website on July 13th, while the track will hit iTunes on June 20th.

Archuleta’s new album is scheduled to be released this fall. It follows up his self-titled album released in 2008, and 2009’s “Christmas from the Heart.”

Who are the songwriters?

Dave F. said it’s someone from a band he used to play with. I don’t think it’s anyone we know of – confused by that -@jwipe

Yes it is my buddy Chris______ who co wrote it with david & someone else.Good song. Heard it last week. SO… -@davidfmusic
