In [http://www.avclub.com/articles/rivers-cuomo,45071/ an interview with AV Club] in 2010, Cuomo described the song as, "... just too hardcore, heavy-metal to be on a Weezer record at the time. That’s why we set it aside. So I worked on that some more recently in the studio, and put some crazy vocal moments on it." Scott Shriner expressed a fondness of the track via Facebook comments upon the album's release. [[Karl Koch]] noted in a [[Indecision and Abandoning the Past|2011 interview]] that Welsh was “partly responsible for the ultra heavy “Everyone”" and other '[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fu_Manchu_(band) Fu Manchu]-like' songs of this period.” Welsh first learned of the release of "Everyone" in a July [[2011]] [http://squarecottoncandy.blogspot.com/2011/07/interview-outsider-artistex-weezer.html interview] with with the blog Square Cotton Candy: | |||
