“Everything She Wants” is a song by the British pop duo Wham!, released in 1984 as part of their album Make It Big. The song was written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo. Originally it was released as a single in December 1984 on a double A-side with “Last Christmas”. The single was a commercial success, particularly in the United States, where it reached No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in 1985. It was also a top 10 hit in the UK and several other countries.
Musically, “Everything She Wants” is a smooth, mid-tempo track that blends pop and R&B with a strong, groove-driven bassline and synthesizers. The song’s laid-back yet sophisticated production reflects Wham!’s evolution towards a more mature sound, compared to their earlier, more upbeat hits.
Lyrically, the song deals with the complexities of a relationship where the narrator feels overwhelmed by the material and emotional demands of his partner. The lyrics express frustration and disillusionment, as the narrator questions whether he can ever satisfy his partner’s desires despite his efforts.
The song remains one of Wham!’s most memorable tracks and is praised for its mature themes, strong production, and George Michael’s soulful vocal performance. It continues to be a favorite among fans of 1980s pop music.
