    "Everyone Says 'Hi'" is a song recorded by English singer David Bowie for his twenty-second studio album Heathen (2002). It was written by Bowie, and produced by British duo Brian Rawling and Gary Miller, with vocals produced by Bowie himself with Tony Visconti. The song was released on 16 September 2002, by ISO and Columbia Records. "Everyone Says 'Hi'" peaked at number 20 on the UK Singles Chart and also reached number 83 in the German Singles Chart.

    Background

    [edit]

    Reeves Gabrels, Bowie's guitarist throughout the 1990s and close creative partner up until a few years before Heathen was released, said that "Everyone Says 'Hi'" was the only song Bowie made after his departure that he heard "because someone told me that David wrote that for me. That made me cry."[1]

    Four of the six B-sides to this 3 CD set are re-recordings of some of Bowie's less familiar 1960s material that were intended for their own album release back in 2000, whilst "Safe" and "Wood Jackson" were new compositions, the former originally written but dropped from the soundtrack to The Rugrats Movie.[2]
