Songfacts®:

  • When Morgan Wallen fell for the subject of this heartbreak ballad, he introduced her to all his favorite places and activities. Then the girl left him like a cloud of dust, ruining everything he loves. This includes:

    His hometown when he introduced her to his mama.
    A road they used to drive in his Silverado
    Fishing in his boat
    The whiskey they drank in his truck

    Wallen wishes they'd met instead in "some old high rise town that I won't ever go again."
  • "Everything I Love" repeats a successful formula for Wallen: heartbreak songs with references to country living. Other songs where Wallen sings of a broken heart or a failed relationship include "Whiskey Glasses," "Wasted On You," "Only Thing That's Gone," "Sand In My Boots," "You Proof" and "One Thing At A Time."
  • Morgan Wallen alludes to a classic Allman Brothers song in the pre chorus.

    We were listenin' to one more silver dollar
    Hanging out my Silverado
    Down a road I love to ride


    The Allman Brothers Band's 1970 hit "Midnight Rider" includes the lyric:

    And I've got one more silver dollar
    But I'm not gonna let 'em catch me, no
    Not gonna let 'em catch the midnight rider
  • Wallen recorded "Everything I Love" for One Thing at a Time. The album contains 36 tracks, outdoing the 30 songs on his previous Dangerous: The Double Album.
  • Morgan Wallen wrote "Everything I Love" alongside Ashley Gorley, Ernest and Ryan Vojtesak, who are all frequent collaborators of the singer. As a group of four, they penned four other One Thing at a Time cuts: "You Proof," the title track, "Me + All Your Reasons" and "Me To Me."
  • Wallen's Dangerous producer Joey Moi produced the '70s country-inspired song.
  • Morgan Wallen interpolated rapper Young Thug's 2014 track "Lifestyle" on another One Thing At A Time track, "180 (Lifestyle)."

    "Luckily with having 36 songs one of the good things about it is you get to experiment you get to try new things," Wallen told American Songwriter. "Those songs could not be any more different but my musical taste couldn't be any more different as well. and as long as I'm being honest and treating myself I feel I can do whatever I want."
