2004 song by Evanescence

"Everybody's Fool" is a song by American rock band Evanescence from their debut studio album, Fallen. Wind up Records released the song on May 31, 2004, as the album's fourth and final single. It was written by Amy Lee in 1999 about the promotion of unrealistic and hyper sexualized ideals of perfection in the industry, with detrimental influence on the youth's expectations and self image. Guitarist Ben Moody and David Hodges also share songwriting credits on the song, which was produced by Dave Fortman. Critical reception towards "Everybody's Fool" was generally positive, with critics highlighting the song's concept and Lee's voice. The accompanying music video was directed by Philipp Stölzl, and features Lee portraying several characters depicting behind the scenes struggles and perfected, glamorous images promoted on screen. The song is performed by Evanescence on their first live album and DVD Anywhere but Home (2004).

Lee wrote "Everybody's Fool" in 1999 about the lie of pop stardom life and unrealistic, over sexualized images that warped the youth's expectations. Songfacts stated that the song's concept "seems like it's always relevant". She said she also acknowledged that "you never know what's going on inside anybody, no matter what they seem like", and that it is a song she has "disconnected" from over the years. Guitarist Ben Moody and David Hodges also share songwriting credits on the song, produced by Dave Fortman. The Millennium Choir performed background vocals. When the label planned for a fourth single from the album, Lee wanted the song "Imaginary" to be the single, but the label chose "Everybody's Fool"; it was released as Fallens fourth and final single on May 31, 2004, in Australia and the United Kingdom. Adrien Begrand of PopMatters concluded that the song "take[s] things to a more over the top, theatrical level." Simon Cusens of ABC Online gave the song 3 out of 5 stars calling it "a cold, sad and angry song that I would only like to listen to without it being repeated again." MTV News' Joe D'Angelo said that the lyrics "rail against idealistic, media constructed images" and Lee's "disembodied" voice in the song "resonates"." Johnny Loftus of AllMusic classified "Everybody's Fool" as a nu metal song. The song peaked at number 36 on Billboards Alternative Songs chart on May 8, 2004. On June 13, 2004, "Everybody's Fool" debuted and peaked at number 23 on the Australian Singles Chart. It spent five weeks on the chart appearing at number 42 in its last week on July 11, 2004.
