Everything We Need

The song features guest appearances from American singers Ty Dolla Sign and Ant Clemons, and additional vocals by the Sunday Service Choir.

The song was certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), giving West his record-setting 85th single to attain this certification.

[1] He also expressed excitement in having collaborated with West and Ty Dolla Sign a second time, comparing it to "getting struck by lightning twice" and declaring that he felt "blessed with being able to sing about God on a record with these guys".

[7] The song omits multiple elements from the original, including layers of bass, an audio clip from TV series Jersey Shore, and XXXTentacion's verse.

[7] Alongside the guest appearances of Ty Dolla Sign and Clemons, it features additional vocals from West's gospel group the Sunday Service Choir.

[23] West led the Sunday Service Choir through a performance of the song atop a hillside set named "The Mountain" at Coachella on April 21, 2019, coinciding with Easter.

[12] Progress commented that "a smooth yet jubilant chorus and bridge" is delivered by Ty Dolla Sign and Clemons, which is "spliced in between West's short, sparse verses" on the R&B-styled "wavy church" ballad.

[12] The Independent correspondent Roisin O'Connor identified Clemons as the best feature on Jesus Is King, expressing that "his gentle, Bon Iver-esque tones" perfectly match West's "sharp delivery".

[16] Similarly, Brian Josephs of Entertainment Weekly said the song "skates on Ty Dolla Sign and Ant Clemons['] rapturous vocals" that manage to provide "the Kanye-isms [with] levity".

[19] Writing for God Is in the TV, Aidy James Stevens noted a stark difference between the song and its Sunday Service performance, declaring that "a calm, contented mood" is set by Clemons' "soft falsetto" and a "bare-bones arrangement", providing "everything we need".

[11] In a mixed review for RapReviews, Ryan Feyre assured that Ty Dolla Sign's chorus on "Everything We Need" "could make the sun rise" and is one of the album's "more riveting vocal performances", though felt disappointed in how West's "anemic songwriting falters".

[27] On a similar note, The New York Times critic Jon Caramanica saw West's unambitious rapping as "buffeted by transcendent guest singers [...] Clemons and Ty Dolla Sign".

[20] Andrew Barker of Variety viewed the song as underdeveloped, feeling that "an absolutely glorious, multitracked vocal hook" is featured from the musician, yet West "never quite figures out what to do with it".

[18] In a negative review, The Guardian's Dean Van Nguyen derided its "sonic minimalism" and nakedness as "equally slender" to West's lyrical style throughout Jesus Is King, while declaring that the assertion of having everything needed "feels a bit rich" after the rapper had previously asked Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg for US$1 billion.
