History
On October 7th, 2021, a user with the nickname "carl92" uploaded a 17-second sample of the song to WatZatSong. He claimed that he found the song on a file in a DVD backup from 1999. The snippet of the song was later uploaded to YouTube by "Jay Kay." This audio recording was recorded with a 15.734 kHz pilot tone that was only present in MTV broadcasts exclusive to a selected few countries. 15.734 is also the horizontal frequency of NTSC CRT TVs, meaning that the recording can be captured from a CRT TV tuned to a North American TV station. The recording was also likely captured via a computer microphone.

During 2024, One-Truth-5867, a moderator of the r/everyoneknowsthat subreddit, found a scene from Taboo III that had a song named Animal In Me which sounded very similar to EKT. One-Truth-5867 realized that in the description, it had the names Christopher Saint Booth, and Philip Adrian Booth who are in a BMI and SOCAN with a registry for “Ulterior Motives”. One-Truth-5867 skimmed over 12 hours on the night of April 27, 2024 through films and found similar sounding music, with claps, vocals, and even some duo singing artists. One-Truth-5867 told people about this and a user named u/south_pole_ball started to communicate with One-Truth-5867. They began skimming through all the artist’s remaining movies that One-Truth-5867 had yet to search. u/south_pole_ball tells One-Truth-5867 that they found the song. The song was found from a porn film called Angels of Passion released in 1986, which could be why carl92 didn't give more details. On April 28, 2024, the song was found on a 80s porn VHS, meaning that the crunching sound was not an artifact by carl92's recording, but a squeaking bed that was being creaked by the pressure of the sexual acts happening on it.

Earlier that same day that the song was found, Chris's Facebook and Instagram accounts were found and contacted by One-Truth-5867, and the most recent of posts were quickly mobbed by comments asking about his affiliation with the song. He would later post on said social medias concerning the song he was notified about, and caused WatZatSong to shut down for a hour.

Presumed Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Something in your eyes makes me realize
How strange it seems
Something in your smile, could be up on trial
Of broken dreams

[Pre-Chorus 1]
You're counting all your sheep in disguise
Caught up in the world of lies

[Chorus]
Everyone knows it
You've got ulterior motives
Tell me the truth
Every move shows it
Ah ha
Don't you realize that you're telling lies?

[Verse 2]
If something's on your mind, spit it out and find
The perfect scam
All your truths and dares, do you really care
Just who I am?

[Pre-Chorus 2]
You're always biting more than you can chew
When will you realize the truth?

[Chorus]
'Cause everyone knows it
You've got ulterior motives
Tell me the truth
Every move shows it
Ah ha
I got it from the wise you're telling lies?
Everyone knows that (You've got motives)
You've got ulterior motives
Tell me the truth
Every move shows that (You've got motives)
You've got ulterior motives

[Outro]
You're always biting more than you can chew
You're always saying more than you do
You're counting all this sheep in disguise
Caught up in a world of lies
Everyone knows it

Theories
There have been various theories and much speculation surrounding the song. It was initially theorized that the song could have been for a television show. Many users speculated that the singer’s country of origin was that of an Asian country (most likely Japanese, but Filipino was also been floated around) due to the pronunciation heard in the snippet sounding like it would be made in the area. Others speculated that it could have come from a makeup commercial. There was also a strong belief among users that the song could have originated from an unused Saleen car commercial, which was found to be a hoax.

Another theory was that Savage Garden could possibly be the band behind this song. This was further ignited by the fact that, on November 17, 2023, Darren Hayes made a post on X (formerly Twitter) simply reading "Everyone Knows That".[1] Some thought that Savage Garden did make the song and that a full release could be imminent, and some assumed that Hayes was just gaslighting or trolling. Some time before December 15, 2023, Darren Hayes deleted the aforementioned post due to unknown reasons. Some people speculated the post was deleted so people couldn't think Hayes was trolling, and some people think Hayes just deleted the post because he didn't want to be pestered any further.

There were people who theorized that this song came from an adult film, due to an interpretation of the lyrics that suggest at the beginning of the snippet the singer says the word "Shit", given that very rarely did that happen on TV in the 90s. It would later turn out that it was correct on April 28, 2024. Immediately after these news, the full song ended up being found, but containing the moans going on during the song due to the lack of a clear, studio version.

Debunked Leads
A theory that came from Reddit was the D-Project theory, where the song was either a song the lead singer recorded going solo (Joe Rinoie) or was an early version of "Stuck" from Prototype, 1988. The theory was debunked by Joe himself.

A theory to identify "Everyone Knows That" posited that the band who made it is "Off Course", citing that their sound was very similar to the singer of Everyone Knows That.

A theory emerged that this song originated from Dolores "Dee Dee" Kenniebrew's never-released solo album that was originally planned for release in 1987. Dee Dee was originally a backup singer, and then the lead singer for The Crystals, a girl group signed to Phil Spector's label Philles Records back in the 1960s. This theory came from a comment left on YouTube by someone claiming to have interviewed Dee Dee in the 1980s, and is still in contact with her today. This lead has since been ruled out.

Artificial intelligence (AI) was also been floated around as being the artist behind this song, but it was quickly debunked as carl92's snippet was posted in 2021, when most popular AI tools had yet to reach the general public. There have also been many attempts to extend the song via AI,[2][3][4] which resulted in the song sounding nothing like the original snippet.

Another theory was that the singer of “Everyone Knows That” could be Roxette, who has multiple different songs that have a similar melody to EKT, which could suggest that it may have been a demo. This theory was later debunked by a Roxette page admin.

On January 16, 2024, a youtuber claimed the song could be from the band Times Two off an album X2, the biggest possibility is being a demo of their song "Come Over" from the album. But there is no proof as of right now.

On February 7th, an artist named Osny Melo who has a similar style and similar singing style was mentioned on the song's subreddit. As a Brazilian native, he has also worked with many Latin American and Japanese artists and has experience with commercial work. He was contacted via Instagram by a searcher. On February 12th 2024, Osny himself confirmed he had nothing to do with EKT.

There were multiple theories about this song being from a chip commercial as some people thought the crunch was a chip or theorized that Carl was eating a chip while recording the mysterious song, which was later found out that it wasn't.
