"Everybody Wants to Rule the World" is a song by English pop rock band Tears for Fears from their second studio album 'Songs from the Big Chair' (1985). It was released on 22 March 1985 as the third single from the album. An international success, the song peaked at number two in Ireland, Australia, and the United Kingdom and at number one in Canada, New Zealand, and on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and Cashbox. Music critics have praised "Everybody Wants to Rule the World", with some ranking the song among the decade's best. Along with "Shout" (1984), it is one of the band's signature songs. In 1986, the song won Best Single at the Brit Awards, and was re-recorded by the band as a charity single for the Sport Aid campaign the same year. The song has been covered extensively since its release, most notably by New Zealand singer Lorde for the soundtrack to the film adaptation of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire. This arrangement for concert band includes a percussion break based on a popular TikTok video that uses the song for a tap dance routine!
