Background

edit

"Everything" was released on July 18, 2018, as the second single from his upcoming eighth studio album.[6] On July 25, 2018, Toby shared a video on his Twitter, explaining the meaning behind the song,"I was on my way to the studio one day to write this song, a song I had in my head but not really in my heart. So, on the drive, I said a really simple prayer. I said, 'Daddy, if You want me to write a song other than this one, will You show me something?' As I continued drivin', my eyes began to open and I could hear Him saying, 'Nah, Toby, I'm not gonna show you somethin'. I'm showing you everything.' Isaiah 43:19 says, 'I am doing a new thing in the land. It's springing forth; do you perceive it?' I walked in the studio that day with a fresh song to write. Yep, a new song in my heart. And I'm gonna fight to keep lookin' for God in everything all day."[7]
