"Evergreen" first surfaced on Ivory, Omar Apollo's 2022 debut album, and took its time finding its crowd. A few months after the record came out, the song caught fire on TikTok in September 2022, with a snippet in more than 300,000 clips by the end of the month, and his Tiny Desk Concert on September 15 sent the streams climbing again. On October 4 it went to contemporary hit radio under its full title, "Evergreen (You Didn't Deserve Me at All)", as the eighth single from Ivory.
Rolling Stone put it at number 29 among the best songs of 2022, praising guitar licks that fall like tears around Apollo's gentle falsetto, and a song crammed with fury, hurt and self-doubt that still climbs to a defiant bridge.
