Everybody Got Their Something is Nikka Costa's first album on Virgin Records, released on May 22, 2001. Although she has released numerous albums internationally since childhood, this is her first release in the United States. During this period, "Heaven Sinner" appeared on the "Like a Feather" single, and "Call Me," a Blondie cover, was released on the Zoolander soundtrack. Demos of outtakes such as "La La La," "Stranger's Way," and "What Goes Around Comes Around" later surfaced.
Everybody Got Their Something yielded what would prove to be Nikka's biggest hit, also titled "Everybody Got Their Something". The song was incredibly well received by radio and video outlets, and was used for multiple advertising/marketing and music campaigns. The song was regularly used to score the television series Arrested Development. The song "Push & Pull" was featured in the film Blow starring Johnny Depp, and the video was on the DVD release of the same film. Prince covered "Push & Pull" on his direct to DVD concert Live at the Aladdin Las Vegas with the help of Nikka.
