Fleetwood Mac "Everywhere (Single & Video)"

"Everywhere" is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac from their 14th studio album, Tango in the Night (1987). The song was written by Christine McVie, who also performed lead vocals, and produced by Lindsey Buckingham and Richard Dashut. In the United States, "Everywhere" was released in November 1987 as the album's fourth single, while in the United Kingdom, it was issued on 21 March 1988 as the album's fifth single.

The single peaked at number 14 on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, remaining there for three weeks. In the United Kingdom, "Everywhere" peaked at number four on the UK Singles Chart and is currently certified 5x platinum by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) for sales and streams of over 3 million units. "Everywhere" also reached number one in Belgium and on the Canadian adult contemporary chart and became a top-five hit in several other countries.

In March 2013, after being featured in an advertisement for UK mobile phone provider 3, "Everywhere" re-entered the UK Singles Chart, rising to number 15.

In the 2019 BBC Four documentary, Fleetwood Mac's Songbird – Christine McVie, Richard Dashut, the co-producer of Tango in the Night, briefly talked about the intro: "That's a half-speed acoustic guitar and electric combined". McVie herself also talked about the song's intro: "He [Buckingham] slowed the tape down, really slowly, and played the parts slowly, and then when it came to the right speed, it sounded bloody amazing". An early version lacked harmonies Nicks had recorded, leading to a heated argument.

A twelve-inch single was issued which featured an extended dance version and dub version. "Everywhere" also marked the first CD single release by the band in most territories. All of the formats included the B-side "When I See You Again", a song taken from Tango in the Night; the 12-inch format featured an extended mix of "Everywhere" and the mini-CD single contained the bonus tracks "Rhiannon" and "Say You Love Me" from Fleetwood Mac's self-titled tenth studio album Fleetwood Mac (1975).

"Everywhere" has been widely acclaimed by music critics. In The Guardian, Alexis Petridis dubbed it "peerless" and "bulletproof pop songwriting." Ivy Nelson from Pitchfork claimed "Everywhere" to be the best song on Tango in the Night, writing that the tune "responds with warmth, empathy, and buoyancy, describing a kind of devotion so deeply felt that it produces weightlessness in a person." Elsewhere, the publication ranked it among the 200 Best Songs of the 1980s, praising its "carefully crafted, spare, and meticulously produced" sound.

There are two versions of the music video for "Everywhere". One video is a visual depiction of the poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes and features bandmembers Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood superimposed over the story. The other version is similar but does not feature the band at all. Directed by Alex Proyas, the video features six interior sets that were constructed over the span of two weeks.
