• On "All I Want Is You," Andy Grammer spends his time pursuing money, success, and the next big achievement, only to discover that the things that matter most have been right in front of him all along. Grammer wrote the song as a reminder that his wife and daughters are more important than whatever goal he is pursuing. Though he can "get pretty caught up in chasing the next thing," he describes his family as his "north star."
• The track took on a new meaning after the birth of his third child. "I'm thinking of my little girl, West, every time I sing it. It's so freaking sweet," told American Songwriter. "That wasn't necessarily the purpose, but now it has attached to it."
  
  That sort of thing happens with songs: the writer sends them out into the world, and they begin acquiring meanings that were not part of the original plan. "That has happened many times in my career. Sometimes the meaning comes from fans too," Grammer explained. "Once you write a song, you kind of let it go and people attach what they attach to it, including me."
• Grammer wrote the track with Elof Loelv, a Swedish songwriter and producer who co-wrote Rihanna's "Stay" and Morgan Wallen's "Love Somebody," and Dalton Diehl, a songwriter who has worked with Timbaland and co-penned Donny Osmond's "Who."
• Grammer produced the track with Jon Levine, who has also worked with Dua Lipa. It appears on his sixth album, Best Hearts. Levine plays drums, percussion, and keyboards, while Joseph Mizrahi handles guitar and bass and Quenton Blache plays cello. Ronnie O'Hannon, Carl Restivo, and Josh Munnell provide backing vocals.
  
  The cello was a particular source of inspiration for Grammer. "I've been chasing the cello for my whole career," he told American Songwriter. "I've never actually captured it in a way that felt correct. This time, I was feeling very inspired with it. I just chased it on a bunch of songs on this record."
