Overall Meaning

The Backstreet Boys' song EVERYBODY is a dance-pop hit that encourages listeners to rock their bodies and have a good time. It begins by announcing that the group is back and ready to bring some flavor, followed by a call-and-response between the lead singer and the audience. Then, the lyrics ask a series of questions: am I original, am I the only one, am I sexual, am I everything you need? These questions may be interpreted as the singer's desire to stand out and capture the audience's attention, or they may simply be rhetorical questions meant to hype up the crowd.


The refrain of the song is the catchy "Everybody, rock your body" line, accompanied by a simple dance move that can be performed while singing along. The chorus repeats this line and adds "Backstreet's back alright" as a way of affirming the group's return to the music scene. The song then goes on to invite listeners to throw their hands up in the air, wave them around, and yell if they want to party. It's a classic dance anthem that encourages everyone in the room to let loose and enjoy themselves.
