Style
"Everything Hallelujah" demonstrates the style of gospel-soul.[1] In the track, Bieber's voice is layered to resemble a "pseudo-choir".[2] The song utilizes "gently picked acoustic" and "angelic synths".[3] The track's lyrics consist of Bieber mentioning various things which he is thankful for, following each listed item with the word "hallelujah".[4][1] In the track he "searches for hope amid anxiety".[2] It has been noted for its "pure honesty" and "overwhelming sense of gratitude".[5] The song has also been noted as being one of Bieber's "most explicit expressions of worship to date", demonstrating themes of "surrender, praise, and devotion".[6]
Reception
Critical
"Everything Hallelujah" received mixed reception from critics. Writing for the Guardian, Katie Hawthorne wrote that Bieber "[transforms] a profound realisation about his faith into lyrical mundanity" and "musical cliche", as well as criticizing the track's use of "squeaking acoustic guitar strings".[7] In an alternative vein, RGM praised the song's vulnerability, writing that it "lingers with you long after it ends".[5] Writing for Billboard, Andrew Unterberger wrote that it "feels quite heartfelt and powerful... without ever feeling the least bit schlocky".[3]
Public
Several months following the release of Swag II, Bieber performer the song at Coachella, which would become his first live performance in several years.[8] As a result of the performance, a TikTok trend began gaining prominence; the trend's premise would involve people making seemingly random statements and following each claim with the word "hallelujah", similar to what is written in the song's lyrics.[9] The trend attracted attention from other celebrities, and parodies were released by Lewis Capaldi, Kylie Jenner and the White House. It has stood out amongst other contemporary internet trends because of its "innocent" and "positive" background.[10]
