It was composed by The Underdogs, who previously worked on Shinee's songs "Juliette," "Spoiler," and "Selene 6.23".[1] Shinee released Everybody digitally and physically on October 14.[2][3][4] The group began their promotions for the title song "Everybody" on October 10, starting with Mnet's M Countdown, and ended their promotions on November 17, 2013, on Inkigayo.[5][6] After the release, the album charted high in Taiwan and debuted at number one on the Gaon Album Chart.[7] Shinee performed the title track "Everybody" for the first time during the 2013 Gangnam Hallyu Festival.[8]

- "Close the Door", a modern waltz song, was the third track to be announced and was first performed live during the October 13 episode of Inkigayo.[21] According to the domestic music portal site Naver Music, the instrumental piece used an intricate mix of synth stings and chords to produce a "beautiful" melody which couples perfectly with the lullaby-like lyrics of the song – that reinvents the relatively "prehistoric" music style in the Korean music industry.[21] The song was engineered by the veteran South Korean hip hop artist-songwriter Jinbo.[22]
- "Colorful" is a "bright medium-tempo" song and the fifth one to be promoted from the album. It was performed live during their SM Town Week – The Wizard concert stage on December 21, 2013. A Christmas special music video was unveiled a day before featuring the group's activities throughout the year.[15]
Critical reception
Jakob Dorof of
Jeff Benjamin of Billboard praised the title track, "Everybody", stating, "Shinee crams in loads of dubstep alongside bleeps, bloops, build-ups and breakdowns. The electronic overload is topped off with sweet boy band harmonies, resulting in an easy-to-digest electro-pop track". The choreography, however, was the highlight for the columnist, describing it as "the most impressive point of Shinee's comeback".[18]
