[1][2] The song is an anthemic ballad sung in English by Anna Vissi, who is an established performer in Greece and her home country, Cyprus, and who has represented both countries previously in the Contest; first with "Autostop" for Greece in The Hague in 1980, finishing 13th, and the second time for Cyprus in Harrogate in 1982 with "Mono i agapi", one of three Cypriot entries to finish 5th.

[3] "Everything" was performed sixteenth on the night, following the United Kingdom's Daz Sampson with "Teenage Life" and preceding Finland's Lordi with "Hard Rock Hallelujah".

[4] Unusually, particularly in comparison to other contest entries, it was performed solo by Vissi, without the presence of backing singers or dancers.

The video for "Everything" has a "heartbreak" theme in keeping with the tone of the song and features the artist discovering her partner's infidelity and suffering a series of misfortunes before being reconciled with him.

[7] More specifically, Karatzaferis argued that the video harmed the country's reputation in the eyes of future tourists, and that was reason enough for the European Parliament to hold an inquiry into the matter.
