Background and development

edit

Following her roles in the Broadway musical Mean Girls and the HBO Max comedy series The Sex Lives of College Girls, Rapp signed a recording contract with Interscope Records in June 2022.[2] Concurrently, Rapp released her debut single titled "Tattoos" that had been teased on her TikTok account several months earlier.[3] In an interview with NPR, Rapp revealed that her pursuit of a record label deal began at the age of sixteen but faced rejection, further noted the traction of the TikTok videos "ended up getting her signed".[4]

In December 2022, Rapp was named as the MTV Push Artist for the month.[5] In an interview conducted as part of the feature, she revealed that the production of the EP was a "healing form of self-reflection". "The EP was the craziest thing because I learned everything about myself," she added.[6] She revealed to Glamour that the tracks symbolized her journey of "figuring out living for herself".[7]

Rapp had started writing and recording for the extended play in January 2022.[8]

Composition

edit

During an interview with NME, Rapp called the EP as "stripped-back pop with lyrics about all the shitty things that have happened".[9] When asked about the musical direction of the EP by Alternative Press, Rapp answered that she intended to create a mixture between "intricate" pop music writing and contemporary R&B. She added that she was "incredibly influenced by R&B" and "lean more toward not pop production".[10]

In terms of its lyrical content, Everything to Everyone addresses themes encompassing mental health issues, being there for others, her queer identity, as well as experiences of love and emotional distress.[8]

Promotion

edit

A few days after the EP release, Rapp announced that she would embark on her first headlining concert tour, visiting four cities across the United States.[11][12]
