"All Around Me" is a song by American band Flyleaf from their self-titled debut album, Flyleaf (2005). It was released as the third single on April 23, 2007. It is the band's highest-charting and only single to chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and their most successful single to date.
Eventually, it became a mainstream and modern rock hit in the United States, crossing over to the pop charts, where it reached No. 40 on the Billboard Hot 100. [3] The song took a large leap into the top 40 channels, receiving more than 20 new stations in just a single day. The song was certified Platinum in the U.S. on January 22, 2010, selling over 1,000,000 copies. [1]
The music video for the song was directed by Paul Fedor. In it, the band is dressed in white except lead singer Lacey Mosley, who is wearing a grey dress. The walls have red, yellow, blue, green, and black paint running down them and later in the video the paint is on the band.
The video provides a different version of the song, which includes an extra refrain in the second chorus, totaling a duration of 3 minutes and 34 seconds as opposed to the album version at 3 minutes and 18 seconds.
The video debuted on Fuse TV's Oven Fresh on June 25, 2007, and on Yahoo! Music on June 28, 2007.
