Words that rhyme with Something
Something, a three-syllable workaday word, lands its weight on the short /ษช/ and lets the line ring through a nasal. Its everydayness lets the song surprise around it. If you're searching for rhymes for something, the shape of the pool is unusual: perfect rhymes simply aren't available, the family-rhyme bucket is bare, while the assonance pool runs into the thousands. Its lyric role is a non-image word. Lean on assonance and the song will sound contemporary, not catalogued.

Why something rhymes the way it does
Something is three-syllable, its rhyme-relevant vowel sitting on the high /ษช/, then it lets the line ring through a nasal. In our 54,000-word dictionary the perfect-rhyme pool returns 0 matches, family rhymes 0, additive and subtractive together 32, assonance 4,343, and consonance 0. That's a narrow strict column with a very deep slant well beneath it. Modern songwriting reads those slants as rhymes; the ear has been trained on them for a century. Practical guidance: read the song aloud and listen for where a slant would tighten the line. Strict rhymes are the structural skeleton; the slant columns are where the personality of the lyric lives. With something, the slant work is doing more weight-bearing than it looks.
