"For Real" is off The Best Of Everything, out now via Geffen Records/UMe, the first career-spanning collection of Tom Petty's hits—including songs from his solo projects, songs with The Heartbreakers and essentials from the reformed Mudcrutch. The collection continues to receive widespread critical praise:

"The emotion is irrevocable."—The New York Times

"Petty's big-picture take on music is perhaps most clearly laid out in 'For Real,' a previously unreleased track that serves as the moving/touching finale of the new set.
It possesses the relatability and healthy dose of self-effacing humor that frequently defined his songwriting." —Los Angeles Times

"This hits collection is a singular treasure trove for the more casual fan, although the inclusion of two previously unreleased tracks, including the moving 'For Real,' and a superior remastering job ensures that serious Petty aficionados will pick it up, too."—Variety

As a supplement to last year's critically lauded box set An American Treasure, The Best Of Everything was born from Petty's long-term desire to release what he believed to be his strongest material across his four decades of songwriting. His family and band-mates rallied together once again to fulfill his dream. Rather than in chronological order, the special cross-label collection was sequenced as a hard-hitting playlist giving the entire catalog equal prominence.
