Stream: “Everything You Do” – The Happy Fits
There’s a common sentiment among the masses of feeling overworked, underpaid, and unloved… we simply cannot afford to love. ‘Everything You Do’ reflects my personal struggle between following my heart and being practical. True to form, my heart always manages to triumph.

The Happy Fits’ “Everything You Do” feels like a surge of joy directed straight at the heart – akin to a confetti cannon bursting midair.
It’s a radiant, exuberant wave of feel-good energy that strikes quickly and leaves you smiling like a fool. It's loud, vibrant, and unapologetically grand – the kind of cinematic indie rock anthem that can fill a room, uplift your spirits, and remind you what it truly means to be alive.
I have followed this band since their early days – when Atwood Magazine showcased The Happy Fits’ debut EP Awfully Apeelin’ in 2016, we noted, “Calvin Langman and Ross Monteith are as surprised as anyone by their band's debut EP success, yet perhaps they shouldn’t be after all…” Nine years, multiple albums, and numerous tour events later – including Lollapalooza and international festival stages – The Happy Fits continue to deliver that same spark I first discovered in their breakout single “While You Fade Away,” now enhanced with more energy, refinement, and fervor.
Their fourth album, Lovesick, releases on September 19th, and “Everything You Do” is its first exuberant, emotional preview.
Everything You Do – The Happy Fits
One more night of overtime
Keeping me confined in this box
with clenched fists
I have bills to pay,
and mouths to feed
I’m feeling so moody, moody, moody
(Moody, moody, moody)
Then you unexpectedly caught me
with this helpless feeling
Everybody wants to love you
You’re the apple of my eye,
my constant craving
Everybody wants to love you
Oh, everybody wants to love you
(Everybody wants you)
But I can’t afford to love
“Everything You Do” embodies that electrifying, butterflies-in-your-stomach love – the type that strikes hard like a freight train, leaving you breathless, euphoric, and alive. From the very first note, it surges ahead with vibrant energy: Thumping drums, soaring strings, and frontman Calvin Langman’s signature cello lines erupting into a kaleidoscope of bliss. It’s unfiltered joy – the kind of track that begs to be played loudly with the windows down, arms spread wide, heart fully open. Underneath that exuberance lies a thread of longing and vulnerability, grounding the song in authenticity and relatability.
For all its grandiosity and excitement, “Everything You Do” at its core is still a love song – one brimming with emotion, desire, and vulnerability.
Langman’s lyrics balance joy and desperation, encapsulating the intense rush of falling for someone who seems out of reach: “I can’t get my mind off loving you / ‘Cause I’m in love with everything you do / So help me please from falling faster / There’s no stopping this disaster.” It’s giddy, breathless, and a bit wild – a lovesick anthem paired with an uplifting soundtrack. The tension between exuberance and emotional turmoil is what makes it resonate so deeply.
I can’t get my mind off loving you
Cause I’m in love with everything you do
So help me please from falling faster
There’s no stopping this disaster
Save me, won’t you say you love me too?
For Langman, this reflective exploration of love and life is deeply personal.
“‘Everything You Do’ is a song I began writing shortly after I moved to Brooklyn and started developing feelings for my girlfriend Kayla, who unfortunately lived in Colorado,” he shares with Atwood Magazine via email. “I was already striving to make things work in the world’s most expensive city, and now I was also managing a long-distance relationship. Despite my exhaustion, stress, and overwhelming workload, I consistently found ways to see her and be with her.”
“I read somewhere that the proportion of married adults in the US dropped from 67% in 1990 to 53% today,” he continues. “Meanwhile, over 50% of millennials are juggling multiple jobs and embracing ‘polyworking.’ I’m no expert, but why is
