"Everywhere" is a song by British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac from their fourteenth studio album Tango in the Night (1987). It was the biggest-selling single from the album in the UK, with over 1.8 million copies sold to qualify the song for a triple-platinum British Phonographic Industry (BPI) certification. The song was written by Christine McVie, who also performed lead vocals, and produced by Lindsey Buckingham and Richard Dashut.
"Everywhere" was released as the fourth single from Tango in the Night in November 1987 in the United States, where it peaked at number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number one on the Adult Contemporary chart, remaining there for three weeks.[1] "Everywhere" was released in the United Kingdom on 21 March 1988[2] as the fifth single from the album and peaked at number four. It also reached number one in Belgium and on the Canadian adult contemporary chart.
In March 2013, after featuring in an advertisement for UK mobile phone provider 3,[3] "Everywhere" re-entered the UK Singles Chart, rising to number 15.
Background and release
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".
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.[citation needed] 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 CD single contained the bonus tracks "Rhiannon" and "Say You Love Me" from Fleetwood Mac's single-titled tenth studio album Fleetwood Mac (1975).
Music videos
There are two versions of the music video for "Everywhere". One features members Christine McVie, John McVie, and Mick Fleetwood. The other video does not feature the band at all and is a visual depiction of the poem "The Highwayman" by Alfred Noyes.
