In an interview with VH1, Mraz stated that he "played a songwriting game" with friends to see how the lyrics would go.[4] Mraz and Caillat performed the song on Saturday Night Live on January 31, 2009.[5] They performed the song again on The Ellen DeGeneres Show in February.

Everything (Michael Bublé song)

"Everything" is a Grammy Award-nominated single by Michael Bublé from his 2007 album Call Me Irresponsible. Unlike most of Bublé's other music, this song carries an adult contemporary sound. Bublé wrote "Everything" for his then girlfriend Emily Blunt.[1][2][3] He explained: "I wrote that song about the great happiness of real love, but at the same time I was making a statement about the world. We’re living in really crazy times, and I wanted to say that no matter what’s happening, this person in my life is what really makes it worthwhile." [4]

 

Unlike Bublé's other work, this song strays away from being big band oriented, and carries a more adult contemporary sound, carrying some elements of pop and rock. It is completely devoid of a horn section, as well as being guitar driven. A piano and an acoustic guitar carry the main melody of the song, with electric guitars audible in the chorus. Bublé's singing is also different than his other work. In most of his music, Bublé's voice often makes big interval changes in most of his songs, but his voice in this song is projected smoothly without going into loud intervals. It is comparable to the 2005 hit adult contemporary single "Home", from the album It's Time.
