Everybody's Gotta Learn Sometime was released physically on February 13, 2026.[1] The album consists of rarities, deep cuts, and covers. It also contains one of Beck's many contributions to the Scott Pilgrim vs. the World soundtrack, "Ramona".[5] It is Beck's second compilation after his 2000 B-sides compilation Stray Blues.[6] Writing for The Times, Will Hodgkinson stated that "Beck's goal here seems to evoke a mood of total relaxation conducive to nights of love", he notes that "It's all a long way from the carefree goofball madness of Beck's Nineties heyday but it is also very pretty, rather dreamlike and unquestionably romantic."[4]
