12 facts about this song
Song Composition"Everything She Wants" was written and produced by George Michael, the latter half of the British pop duo Wham!. |
Chart PerformanceThe song was a commercial success, reaching number one on the U.S Billboard Hot 100 chart in 1985. |
Double-A SideIt was released as a double A-side single with "Last Christmas," which interestingly did not reach the top spot in the UK, making "Everything She Wants" the higher-charting of the two songs. |
Unedited VersionThe original unedited version of the song is around 6 minutes, a length that is not common for pop songs, particularly at the time. |
InspirationThe song's lyrical content was inspired by Michael's childhood fears of poverty. |
Different VersionsThere are different versions of "Everything She Wants." The original album version was shortened for radio release, but the longer version often appears on Wham!'s compilations. |
Live PerformanceA live version of the song from their China tour was included on both the DVD and CD of the deluxe edition of "The Final," Wham!'s last-ever album. |
Song Reception"Everything She Wants" is often considered one of George Michael's finest songs and appreciated for its savvy social commentary. |
VideoThe MTV video of the song is a straightforward performance of the long version, notable for George Michael's stubble, which expectedly sparked a fashion trend. |
PopularityDespite its success, the song wasn't universally popular when it was first released - in fact, it wasn't well received by the critics at the time, but nonetheless it went on to become a huge hit. |
InterpretationThe song critiques rampant consumerism, pointing to the shallow materialism of relationships built on wealth and status. In this way, it broke with the mold of Wham!'s earlier, more lighthearted tracks. |
Re-recordingGeorge Michael later re-recorded the song for his 1991 album, "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me," adding a saxophone solo and backup singers. |
