"You're My Everything" was the first of three singles and four songs to be co-written for the group by Motown songwriter Rodger Penzabene.
It was the second of two A-sides led by vocalist Eddie Kendricks since David Ruffin, who leads on the bridge and ad-libs on the outro, became the Temptations' lead singer, the previous being the 1966 song "Get Ready".
The single is backed by a cover of the Miracles' "I've Been Good to You", also led by Kendricks.
It peaked at number twenty-four on the Billboard Bubbling Under Hot 100 charts.
