"All I Want Is Everything" is a song by the English hard rock band Def Leppard from their sixth studio album, Slang. The song reached number 38 on the UK Singles Chart and has not been played live by the band since the Slang World Tour in 1997.

In reference to the song, lead singer Elliott said in the album's commentary that "All I Want Is Everything" was "demoed as almost a country song, [the song] went through a lot of changes in the studio." Elliott also says that the song has "almost a U2 feel to it", and the "very solemn" lyrics sum up "a lot of what the band was going through at the time: births, deaths, divorces."[1]

Music video

The music video was directed by Matt Mahurin and shot at "Studios & Location" in August 1996. The video was released in September 1996.
