Everything You Want is the third studio album by Vertical Horizon, and the first major label effort with RCA Records. It was released in 1999. The first four tracks of the album were all released as singles. "Everything You Want" became one of the most played singles of 2000, reaching #1 on the Billboard Hot 100. "You're a God" was also very popular, if not quite as much as "Everything You Want". These two singles had popular music videos made for them; the video for "You're a God" featured actress Tiffani-Amber Thiessen. The album also served as the debut of bassist Sean Hurley in the band. Previous albums had a reasonably close balance of songwriting and singing duties between Matt Scannell and Keith Kane, but Everything You Want featured Scannell writing and handling lead vocals on ten of the eleven tracks.
"Best I Ever Had (Grey Sky Morning)" was covered by country singer Gary Allan on his 2005 album Tough All Over, from which his version was also released as a single. "Finding Me" was featured on the fifth Season opener of Buffy the Vampire Slayer. "Give You Back" was featuring in the first episode of Alias, "Truth Be Told".
"You're a God" was also featured in the 2003 film Bruce Almighty.
In the late 1990s, Vertical Horizon's indie albums began to attract record executives from several record labels. The band signed with RCA Records in 1998.RCA Records decided to re-released Vertical Horizon's early albums. The band decided to choose Mark Endert, Ben Grosse, and David Bendeth as producers to produce the album.
