Everybody Wants to Be on TV is the second studio album by the English band Scouting for Girls. It was released on 12 April 2010 through Epic. The first single on the album debuted on the Scott Mills BBC Radio 1 show on 15 January 2010. The album artwork was released on 19 January 2010. It is the second time that producer Andy Green has collaborated with Scouting for Girls to produce an album.
The album was to be re-released and include the single "Love How It Hurts", which was released on 10 July 2011, but the re-release was cancelled due to the band working on their third studio album The Light Between Us and the single was instead featured on that album.
The album took over a year to initially write and prepare but, in summer 2009, Scouting for Girls began recording the final album and had completed it by autumn. They had the initial album written but scrapped it after the 2008 BRIT Awards when they decided it needed rewriting. On their official website, Roy Stride said
"We had the album written, but decided it just wasn't good enough so we trashed it and started over again. I just wanted to write the perfect pop song. We are perfectionists!"
Everybody Wants to Be on TV received mixed reviews garnering a score of 47/100 at aggregator website Metacritic.
