"Everytime We Touch"
Song

“Everytime We Touch” is a cover song performed by the German Eurodance recording trio Cascada, taken from their 2006 debut album of the same name. It was written, composed, and produced by the band's DJs, Manian and Yanou; however, the only writing/composing credits were given to Maggie Reilly, Stuart Mackilliop, and Peter Risavy, as the song borrows the chorus from Reilly's single of the same name. "Everytime We Touch" was first released in the United States on August 16, 2005 by Robbins Entertainment. It was later released internationally in association with other dance music labels including Zooland Records and All Around the World and Universal Music Group following its success in the United States. Musically, the song was composed as a Eurodance track with a pulsating synthesizer, jackhammer beat, and Europop lyrics.

The song was met with generally positive reviews from critics, with the majority of them praising its dance-pop sound and its surprising success in the American commercial market. "Everytime We Touch" has enjoyed chart success in many countries, lasting more than twenty-three weeks in different territories. The song peaked in the number one position in Ireland and Sweden while attaining top five chart positions in Austria, France, Germany and the United Kingdom. It achieved commercial success in the United States, reaching number ten on the Billboard Hot 100. The track was certified platinum in the United States for sales exceeding one million copies. The accompanying music video depicts lead singer Natalie Horler in a library, trying to communicate with her love interest.

Background and release

This version of "Everytime We Touch" was written and composed by Manuel Reutier and Yann Pfeifer, who borrowed the refrain that Stuart MacKilliop, Maggie Reilly, and Peter Risavy had written and composed; Herren Reutier and Pfeifer also jointly produced the selection under their DJ names of DJ Manian and Yanou respectively, being as they were the two DJs who made up the band Cascada. The song was recorded and produced at Studio Plazmatek Cologne in Cologne, Germany and at Studio Plazmatek Erkrath in Erkrath, Germany.

The song was released in the United States on August 16, 2005 as a maxi single. It was released in the single format in the Czech Republic on July 14, 2006.[3] The song was later released to the French iTunes Store on March 31, 2006 as a maxi single[4] and on October 23, 2006 as a digital single.[5] The maxi single release features remixes by 2-4 and Rocco vs. Bass-T along with the ballad mix by Yanou.[4] In Austria, "Everytime We Touch" was released on September 4, 2006 in the same format with all nine tracks featured on the U.S. maxi single but in a different order.[6] On December 22, 2006, the song was released to Germany in the maxi-single format.

Music and remixes

"Everytime We Touch" is an uptempo song that runs for 3 minutes and 16 seconds. It maintains the characteristics of Eurodance, making use of kickdrums, synthesizers, and a drum machine.[7] According to the digital sheet music published at Musicnotes.com by Sony/ATV Music Publishing, the song is written in the key of F minor.[8] It runs through a tempo of 142 beats per minute.[8] Horler's vocal range in the song spans one Octave, from the lower note of A♭3 to the higher note of B♭4.[8] Many of the contemporary critics upon reviewing the song and parent album noted that "Everytime We Touch" features characteristics of techno[9] and dance-pop.[1][2] The vocals for the song are provided by lead singer Natalie Horler. Horler sings the first verse with minimal pads in the background.[2] As the chorus (" 'Cause everytime we touch, I get this feeling/ And everytime we kiss, I swear I could fly") commences, a "jackhammer" beat and a "pulsing" synthesizer play in the background.[2] Following the chorus is a techno-styled breakdown,[9] in which a staccato keyboard line plays along with the drum machine.[2]

The remixes on the maxi single have a consistent Euro-rave sound.[1] The Rocco vs. Bass-T remix features "a breaks-y instrumental bridge toward the middle with a quirky sample medley for a few bars" with segments of chopped vocals.[1] Dan Winter's mix includes a "thicker Euro-rave synthline, longer instrumental expanses," and influences of 80's electro.[1] The Scarf! remix begins with a breakbeat intro and features equalizer/distorted verse vocals.[1] The Verano remix is composed of "a busier synth melody in the transitions, a pretty bells-driven music bed for the verses, and is punctuated throughout with some creative transitional drum rolls."[1]

Critical reception

Kurt Kirton of About.com rated the song three and a half stars (out of five), praising the songs "strong, hooky melody," and the consistency of the remixes on the maxi single released in the United States.[1] He further commented that "The Original Mix is a good solid dance-pop track.".[1] Sharon Mawer of All Music Guide named "Everytime We Touch" as one of the best tracks on the album in her review of the song's parent album, Everytime We Touch.[7] Ken Barnes of USA Today praised the song as an "insanely infectious concoction" in his review of the parent album.[10] Stuart Brown of Fuzznut rated the song three out of ten stars, giving points for effort but disliked the beats and lyrics, calling the lyrics "terrible", the beats "annoying" and the overall song "cringeworth".[9] Marc Vera of Entertainment Weekly favored the song, writing "True, the song is pretty generic, of the thump-thump beat-beat variety, but it’s still catchy as hell."[11] Kelefa Sanneh of New York Times commented that the song is "more shameless than earnest" and praised it as "an energetic dance-pop confection".[2] Chuck Taylor of Billboard lauded the song for its "fine vocal, mesmerizing melody, and high-energy production", claiming that the formula "sets it apart from the tried and true on top 40."[12]
