“Everywhere” is a single released by the British-American rock band Fleetwood Mac from their album Tango in the Night, written and with lead vocals by Christine McVie. It was released in the United Kingdom on February 24, 1988, and reached #4 there. In the United States, it was released earlier on November 28, 1987, and reached number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart and went to #1 on the U.S. adult contemporary chart, remaining there for three weeks. The song also reached the Top 50 in Australia at number forty-five.

SPECIAL NOTE:
Originally this 12″ included the album track “When I See You Again” as the b-side unfortunately that track had very bad groove distortion so I decided to omit it and replace it with the rare “You And I (Par 1)” taken from the b-side of the UK “Big Love” 7″.
