"Everybody" is a song co-written and recorded by Australian country music artist Keith Urban. It was released in September 2007 as the fourth and final single from his 2006 album Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing. The song peaked at number 5 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2008. Urban wrote this song with Richard Marx.
"Everybody" is a mid-tempo ballad that Urban co-wrote with Richard Marx. In it, the male narrator addresses a female who is escaping her relationship ("And the only thing that you've ever known is to run") and tries asking her to stay ("Everybody needs somebody sometimes").
Jordan Levin and Howard Cohen of The Miami Herald called the song "formulaic," and Keith Groller of The Morning Call said that it was "ultra-sappy."
The music video was directed by Chris Hicky, and premiered on CMT on September 22, 2007.
