"Everybody" is a song co-written and recorded by Australian country music artist Keith Urban. It was released in September 2007 as the fourth and final single from his album Love, Pain & the Whole Crazy Thing. The song reached a peak of #5 on the U.S. Billboard Hot Country Songs charts in early 2008. It is part of the track list for Now That's What I Call Country.

"Everybody" is a mid-tempo ballad which Urban co-wrote with Richard Marx. In the lyric, the male narrator addresses a female who is escaping her relationship ("And the only thing that you've ever known is to run") and trying to ask her to stay ("Everybody needs somebody sometimes").

Jordan Levin and Howard Cohen of The Miami Herald called the song "formulaic," and Keith Groller of The Morning Call said that it was "ultra-sappy."

The music video was directed by Chris Hicky.

Richard Marx would later record his own version of the song and release it as the lead single from the European edition of his album Stories To Tell.
