"Everything" was a single by Norwegian pop duo M2M, composed of singers Marion Raven and Marit Larsen. It was the first single from the duo's second album, The Big Room. The single was released worldwide between October 2001 and March 2002. It was well received critically, and reached No. 6 in Norway in addition to being a minor hit in Australia, Italy and New Zealand. A music video directed by Chris Applebaum was released for the single. M2M performed the song on the 100th episode of Dawson's Creek and live at the 2002 Spellemannprisen awards. The song earned M2M a nomination for "Best International Artist" at the 2001 Mnet Asian Music Awards.

The song is aimed at Zac Hanson, who Marion Raven dated briefly while M2M were on tour with him and his band Hanson in 2000. According to Raven, once the tour ended he never contacted her, effectively ending the relationship. Lyrically, the song speaks of a relationship "gone sour".

The single was released in South-East Asia in early October 2001, the US in January 2002 and Norway on 4 March 2002. In December 2001 they opened a concert in Kuala Lumpur with the song. On 1 March 2002 they performed the song at the Spellemannprisen awards in front of 7,000 people and over 700,000 viewers. By mid April 2002 the track had received moderate airplay on radio in the US, particularly on the East Coast. Atlantic Records, however, decided not to market the song until M2M made their appearance on the 100th episode of Dawson's Creek, "100 Light Years from Home", on April 17, hoping this would draw extra attention to the band. This decision upset M2M, who had already arrived in the US in the beginning of March to promote the song over a three-week period, though due to Atlantic's decision they returned home to Lørenskog after only one week. M2M performed the song in the episode, after Pacey Witter flirted with Raven. After filming the duo performed the song at a beach party which was attended by the cast of the show. M2M were scheduled to recommence promoting the single and album in the US in May, before moving onto Mexico, Australia and Japan. They arrived in Australia in mid May 2002 to promote both "Everything" and the follow up single, "What You Do About Me".
