Everywhere We Go shows Kenny Chesney's authorship starting to take shape: he co-wrote three tracks, including the single 'You Had Me from Hello' with Skip Ewing, while the rest of the album still comes from outside Nashville writers like Paul Overstreet and Brett James. The mix of a few personal co-writes against a base of professional material is the pattern that would define most of his catalog.

Everywhere We Go is the fifth studio album by Kenny Chesney, released in March 1999 and the record that turned him into a country star. It produced his first number one hits, 'How Forever Feels' and 'She Thinks My Tractor's Sexy,' along with 'You Had Me from Hello,' one of his earliest co-writes to become a single. Chesney has a writing hand on three tracks here, including 'You Had Me from Hello' with Skip Ewing, while most of the album comes from Nashville writers like Paul Overstreet and Brett James. Certified multi-platinum, it broke him through to mainstream success and set up the run of stadium-filling country that followed.
