Critical reception
Alan Jones from 'Music Week' wrote, "Another Euro-smash, this time from Switzerland. A stuttering pop/reggae confection on which BoBo raps, while his anonymous female companion handles the chorus. Highly commercial and certain to register, though probably not as highly as some of the recent Continental contenders." James Hamilton from the magazine's 'RM' Dance Update deemed it a "Swiss DJ muttered and girl chorused bland Ace Of Base-ish jogging pop reggae Euro smash".
Chart performance
"Everybody" was successful on the charts in Europe and remains one of DJ BoBo's biggest hits to date. It peaked at number-one in Finland and was also a Top 10 hit in Germany (where it reached number two), Iceland, Lithuania, the Netherlands and Switzerland, as well as on the Eurochart Hot 100, where the single hit number ten in August 1994. Additionally, it was a Top 20 hit in Sweden and a Top 30 hit in Belgium. In the United Kingdom, "Everybody" was the first song by DJ BoBo to chart there, reaching number 47 in its first week on the UK Singles Chart, on September 18, 1994. But on the UK Dance Singles Chart, it was a even bigger hit, peaking at number 31. Outside Europe, the song was huge in Israel, where it reached number four. It also charted in Australia, ending up at number 85.
Music video
Directed by Italian director Giacomo De Simone (who has directed music videos for many other Eurodance acts, like Corona, Ice MC and Whigfield) and shot in Porto Venere in Italy, the music video for "Everybody" features DJ BoBo performing the song while driving an old car. Other scenes show the singer singing and dancing with people in the city of Porto Venere.
