[8]
Pitbull,Ne-Yo,and Nayer have performed the song at MTV's Spring Break 2011 in Las Vegas. [9] According to Paul Grein of Yahoo! Music,the song combines genres of hip hop,pop,and "Broadway-style theatricality"—exemplified with the repetition of the word "tonight",reminiscent of the song of the same name from the musical West Side Story (1957). [10] Pitbull makes references to photography company Kodak,department store Macy's,and American media personalities Ryan Seacrest and Lindsay Lohan. [11]

In Daymond John’s book Powershift,Pitbull says that he wrote the song after an encounter with a Princess from Dubai at a club. When the security at the club wanted to chase the Princess away from Pitbull after giving her his number;he was inspired by the events to write that song. John backed this point up even further citing the lyrics "Take advantage of tonight,'cause I'm off to Dubai to perform for a princess" and Pitbull's own generosity with his fans as the reason he created the song. [13]
"Give Me Everything" has received mixed reviews from music critics. A review from NME magazine criticized Pitbull and the song for having too many random components. The review said "So,how many types of wrong is this? Well,you’ve got your earnest vocal gibbering about living in the moment. You’ve got your cheap rave wibble,a high frequency irritation that buzzes throughout like a fly trapped in jism." [14]

On August 22,2011,Lindsay Lohan filed a lawsuit against Pitbull,Ne-Yo and Afrojack due to the song's lyrics referencing her name.
