Logic teased the song on January 1, 2016, on Snapchat.[3] In an interview with Genius, Logic spoke on the creation process behind the song, saying, "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."[4]

On August 25, 2018, EA Sports announced that "Everybody" would be used in Madden NFL 18.[5]
