The album, recorded in Los Angeles, marked the band's first project after launching an online blog, which provided fans with continuous updates and insights into their creative process.

Drummer Tyler Stewart improvised a drum kit from unconventional objects, and the band performed acoustic renditions of eleven songs, omitting "Shopping," "Unfinished," "War on Drugs," and the bonus track "Yes!

This acoustic session was deemed successful, leading to a similar approach for their subsequent album, Barenaked Ladies Are Me (aka BLAM).

The album cover, painted by Canadian artist Chris Woods, features a profile of the band members holding a white flag of surrender.

Everything to Everyone was issued in three distinct editions: The lead single, "Another Postcard," was perceived by many fans as an effort by the record label to replicate the success of previous hits "One Week" from Stunt and "Pinch Me" from Maroon, due to its similar style and rap-based vocals.

The band supported the album with the U.S. Peepshow Tour, which deviated from typical promotional efforts, appearing to cater more to dedicated fans than to a broader audience.
