Everything

Written and produced by Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis for Mary J. Blige's third album Share My World (1997), this song samples "You Are Everything" by The Stylistics and "The Payback" by James Brown, also incorporating elements from "Sukiyaki" by Kyu Sakamoto. Released in August 1997, it reached number twenty-four on the Billboard Hot 100 and became Blige's first top ten hit in the UK, peaking at number six. The music video was directed by Hype Williams and filmed in Kauaʻi, Hawaii in June 1997.
