"Everything You Do" is a single by Norwegian pop duo M2M, composed of singers Marion Raven and Marit Larsen. It was the third and final single from their debut album Shades of Purple . It peaked at No. 21 on the Billboard Hot Dance Singles Sales.
M2M recorded the original version of "Everything You Do" in 1999. In mid-2000 the song was re-recorded with new vocals for its single release and was also sung in Spanish, titled "Todo Lo Que Haces" alongside the English version. The official remixes of the song were released in the same year, also using the new vocals. These new vocal versions were then included on special Asian editions of the album released in January 2001 and later released on the group's greatest hits compilation, The Day You Went Away: The Best of M2M . [2] M2M performed the song at a concert at Walt Disney World's Epcot park in February 2000, which aired on an episode of Disney Channel in Concert on 29 April that year. [3]
The video shows a futuristic prison where two young men in a futuristic cell watch M2M performing on a makeshift television. M2M are shown to be being filmed performing on a television show. One of the men in the cell uses an electronic device to open a liquid doorway between the cell and where M2M are being filmed. Raven and Larsen step through the doorway; when the appear in the cell they are in different blue clothes that match those of the young men. When the security personnel at the prison notice M2M they attempt to apprehend them, though M2M and the young men escape from the facility to where a black car is parked outside. Pursued by the security personnel, the car disappears through a liquid doorway in the road. When the doorway opens in a field, M2M and the young men are now in a white car and dressed in white clothing. The video ends with footage of M2M and the men running happily through the fields. It was directed by Tryan George and filmed in Toronto, Canada. The video was filmed to the radio version with the new vocals, though occasionally a version edited to the original album version was aired.

"It's All Coming Back to Me Now" is a power ballad written by Jim Steinman. According to Steinman, the song was inspired by Wuthering Heights, and was an attempt to write "the most passionate, romantic song" he could ever create. The Sunday Times posits that "Steinman protects his songs as if they were his children". Meat Loaf had wanted to record the song for years, but Steinman saw it as a "woman's song". Steinman won a court movement preventing Meat Loaf from recording it. Girl group Pandora's Box went on to record it and it was subsequently made famous through a cover by Celine Dion, which upset Meat Loaf because he was going to use it for a planned album with the working title Bat Out of Hell III. Alternately, Meat Loaf has said the song was intended for Bat Out of Hell II and given to the singer in 1986, but that they both decided to use "I'd Do Anything for Love " for Bat II, and save this song for Bat III.
