Background

Logic first teased the song on January 1, 2016 on Snapchat.[5] In an interview with Genius, Logic spoke on the creation process behind the song, he said:

This was the first song that I wrote for the album, this was like two years ago, which is crazy to say that. I just knew it was something that I wanted to say. I just felt compelled, and I didn’t even really still know about the whole concept of the album yet, like I had this idea in my mind, but this is just something I really needed to say.[6]

Chart performance

"Everybody" debuted at number 59 on the Billboard Hot 100 and the Canadian Hot 100 for the chart dated April 22, 2017.[7] "Everybody" is Logic's third appearance on the Hot 100 following "Sucker for Pain" and "Flexicution".[8] On March 15, 2018, the single was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for combined sales and streaming-equivalent units of over a million units in the United States.
