Some day or someday!
I was listening to Imagine by John Lennon yesterday, but when I was reading the lyrics, I could notice that said...I hope someday you'll join us. Then I checked out another video with the same song, but it said...I hope some day you'll join us. And then I googled it and was the same, ones said 'some day' and others 'someday' 😭😔

Someday is used as an adverb. Some day is used when "some" is acting like its determiner self (like the, a, an) and "day" is just a noun.
In the case of the song it's someday because it is adding information to the verb join. When will you join? Someday.
Best way to tell the difference is to test if "day" is a stand alone noun.
Some day is the right day.
He will come someday.
This also happens with words like everyday, sometime, etc.
Hope that helps!

"Someday" is “at an indefinite time in the future.” "Some day" refers to a day that is perhaps unknown or unspecified." This is according to Google. I'm not sure which one John Lennon meant to use, perhaps the first one?
