Written and produced by George Michael, a member of the duo, "Everything She Wants" garnered significant acclaim, marking Wham!

Apparently, the musicians involved in Make It Big had already flown back to the UK when Michael came around to recording the track en route from Studio Miraval, so it was partly out of necessity he worked on it himself.

However, the presence of an equally-billed flip-side meant that radio stations had something else to play once "Last Christmas" had lost its seasonal topicality.

's material as he began his solo career, "Everything She Wants" remained a song of which he was proud, and he continued to perform it in his shows.

In September 2011, during the Symphonica Tour, at a concert at SAP Arena, Mannheim, Germany, Michael said that "Understand" featured on Twenty Five[12] was written as a follow-up to "Everything She Wants" with the man in the song realizing that his woman cared a lot more about love than he ever dreamed of.

"Everything She Wants" was featured on the official soundtrack album to Last Christmas released by Sony Music on CD, 2-disc vinyl, and digital formats on 8 November 2019.

[13] Rapper Foxy Brown sampled the song on the track "I Can't" from her 1999 album Chyna Doll.

[14] The a cappella group Naturally 7 sampled "Everything She Wants" on their 2011 song "Life Goes On", an arrangement that was personally approved by Michael.

Its music video, shot during the COVID-19 pandemic, features cameos from artists like Insane Clown Posse, Hyro the Hero, Charlie Benante of Anthrax, CJ Pierce of Drowning Pool, and several others.
