Everything at Once is a song written and recorded by the Australian singer Lenka. It was released in November 2012 as the third single from her second studio album, Two (2011). The song was originally released as the album’s second promotional single in 2011, but it was later released as an official single in November 2012.
Chart performance
Two, and the first two singles released from it, “Heart Skips a Beat” and “Two”, were commercially unsuccessful. However, after being played in a Windows 8 commercial and Disney Studio All Access teaser; this allowed the song to do much better, becoming Lenka’s second most successful single after “The Show”.
Music video
The music video shows Lenka wearing a black and white striped dress dancing with two women with the background matching Lenka’s dress. Lenka then starts miming with her hands the things she wants to be. Then, she starts dancing with eyes painted on her hands. She then forms a circle with the other women and begins to switch the background in order to match her and the women’s dresses. The video then ends with Lenka falling backwards into the women’s arms.
Everything at Once Lyrics (2011)
As sly as a fox, as strong as an ox
As fast as a hare, as brave as a bear
As free as a bird, as neat as a word
As quiet as a mouse, as big as a house
All
I wanna be
All
I wanna be
Oh-oh-oh, all
I wanna be
Is everything
As mean as a wolf, as sharp as a tooth
As deep as a bite, as dark as the night
As sweet as a song, as right as a wrong
As long as a road, as ugly as a toad
As pretty as a picture hanging from a fixture
Strong like a family, strong as I wanna be
Bright as day, as light as play
As hard as nails, as grand as a whale
All
I wanna be
Oh-oh-oh, all
I wanna be
Oh-oh-oh, all
I wanna be
Is everything
Everything at once
Everything at once
Oh-oh-oh, everything at once
As warm as the sun, as silly as fun
As cool as a tree, as scary as the sea
As hot as fire, cold as ice
Sweet as sugar and everything nice
As old as time, as straight as a line
As royal as a queen, as buzzed as a bee
As stealth as a tiger, smooth as a glider
Pure as a melody, pure as I wanna be
All
I wanna be
Oh-oh-oh, all
I wanna be
Oh-oh-oh, all
I wanna be
Is everything
Everything at once
