"All Around Me" sat on Flyleaf's self-titled 2005 debut for a while before it went out as the album's third single in April 2007, and then it took off: a rock-radio hit that crossed over to pop stations and became the band's only song on the Billboard Hot 100. Lacey Sturm carries it, her voice moving from a breathy hush to a full-throated wail, while Sameer Bhattacharya and Jared Hartmann stack heavy guitars around her and Pat Seals and James Culpepper keep the floor solid. All five share the writing credit. Howard Benson produced and Mike Plotnikoff mixed, buffing the crunch to a radio shine. In 2025 it went four-times platinum in the U.S.
