The song was written by Matraca Berg and Marshall Chapman, with Billy Joe Walker Jr. providing production for the song.

Just a month after the release of its parent album, McCready would be dropped by BNA, marking this her final single released for the label. [3]
"All I Want Is Everything" is a "rockabillyish big beat new wave"-inspired up-beat country song. [4] A "quasi-feminist, modern-girl" song, [5] the song's narrator sings of everything materialistic she wants in a relationship. McCready said of the song in an interview with the Portsmouth Daily Times , "When I first heard it, the lyric reflected so much of my personality. 'All I want is everything' is something I've actually said before." [6]
Billboard, in their review for the album, gave "All I Want Is Everything" a positive review, calling it a "Buddy Holly-esque" song and a "galloping tale of braggadocio." [7] Radio & Records in their review also noted the similarities to Buddy Holly. [8]
"All I Want Is Everything" debuted at number 72 on the US Billboard Hot Country Songs chart the week of August 21, 1999. It hit its peak position of number 57 on October 2, 1999, spending 9 weeks in total on the chart.
Susan Johnson directed the video for the song in Los Angeles, California. [9] The video mostly takes place in front of green screens with the exception of a few scenes like the opening shot where McCready is in a rural area on a hill where a man serves her a drink. It was added to CMT's playlists for the week of September 12, 1999. [10]

The resulting songs explore themes of romance and female empowerment, addressed with humour.
