"Everywhere" is a single by American country music singer Tim McGraw that reached the top of the Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks chart. It was the second single released from his album of the same name.
Music Video The music video was directed by Sherman Halsey, who has also directed almost all of Tim McGraw's music videos.
Lawsuit In 2007, songwriter James Martinez filed a $20 million dollar lawsuit against McGraw, Reid and Wiseman. The suit alleges that the singer lifted “Everywhere” from a tape containing Martinez' original track "Anytime, Anywhere Amanda." Martinez provided the tape to the same songwriters who wrote the song "Everywhere" for McGraw's 1997 album of the same name. The suit alleges that McGraw and other defendants internationally released and distributed the “Everywhere” album containing their infringing copies of a song substantially similar to the Martinez's song. McGraw's attorneys stated that they are confident the case will be dismissed altogether, and described the allegations as being "totally without merit." In August 2008, the law suit was transferred from Texas to the federal district court in Nashville, Tennessee. The lawsuit is ongoing.[1] Despite reaching Number One on Billboard Hot Country Singles & Tracks (Now Hot Country Songs), the song did not appear on Tim's Greatest Hits album. It did, however, later appear on Tim's second Greatest Hits package, Reflected: Greatest Hits Vol. 2.
