"All I Want Is You" is the fourth and final single from Carly Simon's 1987 album Coming Around Again. The song was co-written by Simon and frequent collaborator Jacob Brackman.[1] The song is also featured on Simon's 1988 album Greatest Hits Live.[2]

The song is one of Simon's biggest latter period AC hits, and as a result is included on multiple compilations of her work, which include 1995's 3-disc box set Clouds in My Coffee, the UK import The Very Best of Carly Simon: Nobody Does It Better, the 2-disc retrospective Anthology, 2004's single disc Reflections: Carly Simon's Greatest Hits, and 2014's Playlist: The Very Best of Carly Simon.

The song peaked at #54 on the Billboard Hot 100,[3] becoming Simon's twenty-second entry on this chart, and spent nine weeks there. The song was even more successful on the Billboard Adult Contemporary chart, where it lasted for 5 months and peaked at #7.[3]
