Contents

A 12" single was also issued and featured an extended dance version and dub version. "Everywhere" also marked the first CD single release by the band in most territories. All formats included the B-side "When I See You Again", a song taken from the Tango in the Night album; the 12" format featured an extended mix of "Everywhere" and the CD single contained bonus tracks "Rhiannon" and "Say You Love Me" from Fleetwood Mac's tenth studio album Fleetwood Mac (1975).

Chart performance

After featuring in an advert for UK mobile phone provider 3, "Everywhere" re-entered the UK Singles Chart and peaked at number 15 in March 2013. As a result of this newfound success, the song was featured on the compilation album Now That's What I Call Music! 84 in March 2013.

Music video

The music video of the song is a visual depiction of the poem The Highwayman by Alfred Noyes. There are two versions of the video; one features the story with members of the band appearing throughout, while the other doesn't feature the band at all.
