"Everything in Its Right Place" is a song by the English rock band Radiohead, released as the opening track of their fourth studio album, ''Kid A'' (2000). It features synthesiser, digitally manipulated vocals and unusual time signatures. The lyrics were inspired by the stress felt by the singer, Thom Yorke, while promoting Radiohead's album ''OK Computer'' (1997). Yorke wrote "Everything in Its Right Place" on piano. Radiohead worked on it in a conventional band arrangement before transferring it to synthesiser, and described it as a breakthrough in the album recording.

Though it alienated some listeners, it was named one of the best songs of the decade by several publications.
