"Everywhere" is a single released by American singer-songwriter Michelle Branch. It was written by Branch and John Shanks for her debut album, The Spirit Room (2001). The song was produced by John Shanks and was released in July 2001 by Maverick Records.

The song received positive reviews from critics praising its lyrical content and Branch's vocal performance. The song attained moderate success, reaching the top twenty in Australia, United Kingdom, New Zealand, the Philippines, Indonesia, and the United States. Notably, "Everywhere" was one of the few songs in the U.S. that were popular around the time when the September 11th attacks occurred.

There are two music videos for the song, one features Branch singing the song inside a rundown building and shows Branch posing for The Spirit Room photoshoot, this video was exclusively available via enhanced CDs until it was made available on iTunes in limited countries; the official and second music video shows Branch inside her apartment spying on her crush who also seems to be spying on her as well. The two finally meet each other at the end of the music video.

Branch told MTV in 2001:

The music video for "Everywhere" was directed by Liz Friedlander. The video shows Branch stalking a cute guy in the opposite apartment building while she plays her guitar in an empty room.

Branch told MTV in 2001, "Before we made the video, it was a big deal for me to help find the guy [who co-stars in it]. I was like, 'I'm taking over. Send all the photos to me. I have to pick the guy.' I was watching every WB show saying, 'He's cute. Can we contact him?' As a teenage girl, this was really exciting for me. They finally brought me the picture of the guy in my video, Jake Muxworthy. I was like, 'This is it. He has to be in it.' The scenes that he was in were so hard because I had this little crush on him. I would giggle and start blushing [when I saw him]. ... I think his girlfriend is probably going to track me down and kill me now."
