"Everybody in Love"
Song

"'Everybody In Love" is the second single by British boyband JLS from their self-titled debut album. [1][2][3] The song was released as a digital download on 1 November, 2009, and is currently available on the UK and Ireland iTunes Store. The CD version of the song was released a day later on 2 November, 2009.[4] The song became the band's second number one single in the UK on 8 November 2009. [5]

Release, background and writing inspiration

JLS band member Aston Merrygold commented on the single's background:

"I think people were expecting a cover as our first single. But this is our own individual sound. When we heard Beat Again we loved it."[1]

Reception

Critical

To date, "Everybody In Love" has garnered mixed to positive reviews. Digital Spy said that: "Groundbreaking it ain't, but Everybody In Love is catchy, feelgood and thoroughly likable. It's also as mushy as the peas at your local chip shop, with the boys issuing this imperative at the start of the song and again towards the end: "Everybody in love, go on put your hands up." If we could listen, type and wave our phone above our head all at the same time, believe us we would be."[citation needed] Popjustice also said "Everybody In Love is so in need of its own 'HRNK' - that international sound effect of the quite good pop tune - that it actually opens with the sound of a rave horn. You cannot say fairer than that." [6] FemaleFirst stated that the song was "Pretty much what we all expected from this JLS single ‘Everybody in Love’. It follows the idea that if you repeat a catchy chorus 100 times then it will become anthemic-a song to sing along to in a club after a few WKD’s". They also stated that "Despite it being uber-predictable, the track works on a surface level and the catchy tune will prove a hit, especially with teenagers, and so in that respect it does the job. It would be nice to hear something a bit less obvious for their next effort". [7] [edit]Charts
