"Everything Hits at Once" is a song by American indie rock band Spoon, the first track on their fourth studio album, Girls Can Tell (2001).

The song was intended to be stylistically distinct from the band's past material, incorporating influences from Fleetwood Mac and Elvis Costello and including a mellotron solo.

Eleanor Friedberger, former Fiery Furnaces singer and Daniel's girlfriend, recalled listening to the song for the first time: "It's so radically different than anything he'd done before.

[3] The song also features a mellotron solo section, performed by Daniel's friend Conrad Keely of ...And You Will Know Us by the Trail of Dead.

"[2]"Everything Hits at Once" was a late addition to Girls Can Tell, having been added in the second working version of the album produced with Mike McCarthy.

Of the song's inclusion, Daniel elaborated, "It felt like something from Girls Can Tell needed to be on the hits record because it was such an important turning point for us in a lot of ways and this is maybe the most sort of single-like one.

"[1] Billboard named the song number 95 on their top 100 singles of 2001; for the song's entry, Andrew Unterberger commented, "One of the 20th century's most consistent bands at writing punchy, smart pop-rock blasts, nothing from Spoon's last two decades have been quite as much of a fist to the gut as Girls Can Tell lead single 'Everything Hits at Once.
