Lyrical content
[edit]"Music Everywhere" in an up-tempo dance-pop song that celebrate Abreu's love for music and the joy and excitement that it brings her and others. Abreu sings that she finds 'salvation' in music (including her own) being 'on heavy rotation', and that when 'music is everywhere' then life is much more exciting and positive. The final verse of the song also reflects upon Abreu's strong beliefs in her own musical direction and that she will not change simply to please the 'suits', stating that she 'won't budge', finally ending with the statement 'I am who I am and that's more than enough'.

Music video
[edit]The music video for "Music Everywhere" was directed by Mikko Harma, and was shot mainly at Helsinki airport. The video begins with Abreu, wearing a dressing gown and slippers, exiting a camper van and entering the airport hangar, where stylists begin to make her over. This is filmed in greyscale, which changes to full colour when the song's chorus begins. Abreu is then seen singing and dancing in an empty airport hangar. This is interspersed with shots of her riding a motorcycle and dancing in both a limousine and on the airport runway. Abreu then appears wearing the blue and gold dress from the cover art of Just a Pretty Face?, dancing and swining in a circular trapeze, which can also been as part of the photography inside the album sleeve.
Live performances
[edit]Abreu performed the song on television at the 2009 Finnish version of Children In Need, wearing the blue and gold dress seen in the music video and the Just a Pretty Face? album cover.[3] It has since become Abreau's fourth most performed song when on tour.[4]
