"Everything to Me" is a song by American recording artist Monica. It was written by fellow singer Jazmine Sullivan and co-produced by Missy Elliott and Cainon Lamb for her sixth studio album Still Standing (2010), incorporating a sample of the 1981 recording "Silly" as penned by Fritz Baskett, Clarence McDonald, and June Deniece Williams and performed by Deniece Williams.[1]

Recorded during initially unplanned, additional recording sessions for the album, "Everything to Me" was released as the lead single from Still Standing in the United States on December 8, 2009 following a request campaign by fans on Twitter. The song garnered generally positive reviews by music critics, who noted it the album's standout track.[2][3]

Monica's first solo release in over three years, the song has peaked at number forty-four on the US Billboard Hot 100 and number-one on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Singles & Tracks chart, becoming her first chart-topper in over seven years. The track was nominated for Best Female R&B Vocal Performance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards.[4]
