"Everyday" closes the Dave Matthews Band's 2001 album Everyday, and it ends the record on an upswing: a song that grew out of an older DMB number called "#36", tips its cap to the Beatles' "All You Need Is Love", and makes room for Vusi Mahlasela's voice. Dave Matthews wrote it with Glen Ballard, who produced; Karl Derfler recorded it and Chris Lord-Alge mixed.
It wasn't meant to be the third single. "When the World Ends" had that job until the September 11 attacks made its title feel wrong, so "Everyday" went to triple-A radio that fall instead, where it climbed all the way to the top of Billboard's Triple-A chart: number one for the band for the sixth time, and the third straight. Chuck McBride conceived and directed the video, with Lance Acord behind the camera.
