"Everything" is a song written by Fefe Dobson, Jay Levine, and James Bryan McCollum and recorded by Dobson for her self-titled debut album (2003). It was released to American radio as the album's second international single and third overall single on January 19, 2004.[1]
"Everything" is Dobson's only single from her debut album to miss the Canadian Singles Chart, but it did become a top-10 hit on the country's hot adult contemporary radio chart. The song is also her only track to chart in the UK to date, peaking at number 42.
Promotion[]
Dobson has made appearances on MTV's TRL, The Ellen DeGeneres Show,[2] The Sharon Osbourne Show, All That, and The Tonight Show with Jay Leno[3] to promote the single.
"Everything" is featured in the film The Perfect Score and appears on its soundtrack.[4]
There are many incarnations of the CD single release with varying tracks and cover art.[5]
Critical reception[]
Spin wrote that the song was a "shameless Avril rip" and listed it in the "Trash" section of their music list.[6] Chuck Taylor of Billboard also likened the song to Avril Lavigne's music and wrote that "Everything" was "less distinctive" than Dobson's other songs and "could go either way."[7] In a review of Fefe Dobson for Billboard, Rashaun Hall cited "Everything" as an example of the "standard pop fare" that bogs down sections of the album.[8]
