Everytime is the first single released by Australian hip hop group Butterfingers. It was released as an EP on 7 April 2003[1] on the band's in-house Valley Trash label[2] and distributed by MGM Distribution.[3]
The song is an Australian hip hop song, and features the distinctive Australian accent (and humour) throughout the raps in the song. The Age's Kahlil Hegarty describes it as "...an ode to working deadend [sic] jobs, articulating fantasies of punching supervisors in the face and outlining worstcase bad-day scenarios" and a song that Jacobson admits "has so much swearing in it and all the concepts are really gross".[4]
The song received significant airplay on Triple J[5] and the video aired on rage,[6][7] Channel V and MTV. In an interview in October 2007 lead vocalist, Eddie Jacobson, recalls
Basically, I didn’t know how to get on Triple J. There was a girl called Nicole Foote who used to host the Hip Hop show, I sent her the first EP we had which had the "Everytime" track on it, she played it a couple of times and a couple of people heard it and it started getting requested on ‘Super Request’. Then Robbie Buck asked for a copy of it, so he could play it on ‘Home and Hosed’.[8]
"Everytime" reached No. 38 in the Triple J's Hottest 100 of 2003,[9] the first appearance by the band in the Hottest 100. The song also reached No. 16 on the AIR Independent Charts in May 2003.[10]
