Composition
During an interview with NME, Rapp called the EP as "stripped-back pop with lyrics about all the shitty things that have happened".{{cite web|url=https://www.nme.com/en_asia/features/tv-interviews/renee-rapp-interview-sex-lives-of-college-girls-music-3387846|title=Reneé Rapp: "My music is about the shitty things that have happened to me"|work=NME|date=January 26, 2023|accessdate=August 24, 2023|first=Nick|last=Levine}} When asked about the musical direction of the EP by Alternative Press, Rapp answered that she intended to create a mixture between "intricate" pop music writing and contemporary R&B. She added that she was "incredibly influenced by R&B" and "lean more toward not pop production".{{cite web|url=https://www.altpress.com/renee-rapp-interview/|title=Reneé Rapp on wanting to be "bisexual Justin Bieber" and what she wants for her Sex Lives of College Girls character Leighton|work=Alternative Press|date=January 20, 2023|accessdate=August 24, 2023|first=Ilana|last=Kaplan}}
In terms of its lyrical content, Everything to Everyone addresses themes encompassing mental health issues, being there for others, her queer identity, as well as experiences of love and emotional distress.
