The band members cite Patti Smith and the Velvet Underground as their main inspirations. However, several tracks on this album (such as "Wolf", which features spiky, over-amped guitars against a stressed-out string section, and "Stone Horses", which kicks off with a funky Mellotron before sliding into a smooth, danceable beat) show the unmistakable influence of U2.[2] Everybody is reminiscent of Zooropa school. This is not surprising, considering that Everybody was mixed by Robbie Adams, who also worked on Zooropa.

Gods Child's highest honor came when "Everybody's 1", appeared on two Billboard charts simultaneously in 1994. The song peaked at #18 on the Mainstream Rock chart and #25 on the Modern Rock Tracks chart.

The album was released on CD and vinyl. It was produced by band members Chris Seefried and Gary DeRosa under the pseudonym Bullfrog and the Elephant. The cover photograph is that of an amusement ride at Coney Island.

Promotional videos for "Everybody's 1" and "Stone Horses" were released on iTunes in March 2006.
