"Everyone's Waiting" is the second single from Australian singer-songwriter Missy Higgins' third album, The Ol' Razzle Dazzle.

[1] Higgins performed the song at the 2012 ARIA Awards, where the single won the award for "Best Video"[2] Missy said; "The song deals with a real inner conflict I went through regarding music, so to personify the water as both my nemesis and then my saviour is pretty spot on when relating to the meaning of the song.

[5] Nick Bassett from Chart Shaker reviewed the song saying: "'Everyone's Waiting' serves up yet another stunning vocal from the singer and the lyrics deliver what could be interpreted as a devastatingly personal summation [as to] why she chose to take that break following a well-documented struggle to express herself after two massively successful albums.

But if you stop and think about it, the song is a very sweet exercise in self-pity, and that, from Missy Higgins, is unbearable.

[7] Sean Holio from Cooltry said the song is "melodically charming".
