"You're All I Need" is a power ballad by American heavy metal band Mötley Crüe. It was released as the third and final single from the band's 1987 album Girls, Girls, Girls.
The song peaked at 83 on the Hot 100, and 23 on the UK Singles Chart. Despite the controversy and its lack of chart success, the song is considered one of their best songs.
The song was praised by Jon Bon Jovi as "the best ballad Mötley Crüe have ever written.” When informed of this, Nikki Sixx laughed because of the gruesome meaning behind the song.
As Sixx would later relate in his Heroin Diaries memoir, "You're All I Need" was inspired by some real-life violent impulses. Convinced his girlfriend at the time had been cheating on him with actor Jack Wagner, who was then enjoying a taste of pop stardom with his hit single "All I Need," Sixx wrote his own song — then played it for his ex. "I took the cassette over to her apartment and I didn't say anything. I just had a little cassette player, and I just played it for her, and she started crying, and I walked out the door," he later told Rolling Stone. "I was like, 'Well now, that's that.'" However, the rest of the band praised the song, and it was recorded for the Girls, Girls, Girl's album. In Sixx's book, The Heroin Diaries, a journal entry states that Tommy Lee was playing the song on the piano, and Sixx wrote the lyrics for the piano part.
Shot in black-and-white, the video shows a man getting into a heated argument with his girlfriend, which ends with him killing her with a kitchen knife (off-screen). He then takes a picture of her off the wall, and throws it in the fireplace. After the murder, he begins having a breakdown, and destroys many objects in his house. Eventually, he is arrested by the police and is hauled away in front of many onlookers. Paramedics put the dead woman in a body bag and the man is hauled away in front of many onlookers. The band appears in the video through hallucinations. Even though the video was not particularly violent (except for the lyrics), MTV refused to air it, due to the realistic gruesome scenes. The video was directed by Wayne Isham. The DVD version of the video begins with a statement warning about the video's content.
Mötley Crüe is an American heavy metal band formed in Hollywood, California in 1981. The group was founded by bassist Nikki Sixx, drummer Tommy Lee and guitarist/lead vocalist Greg Leon. After some time, Leon was replaced by guitarist Mick Mars and lead vocalist Vince Neil respectively. Mötley Crüe has sold over 100 million albums worldwide. They have also achieved seven platinum or multi-platinum certifications, nine Top 10 albums on the Billboard 200 chart (including 1989's Dr. Feelgood, which is Mötley Crüe's only album to reach number one), twenty-two Top 40 mainstream rock hits, and six Top 20 pop singles. The band experienced several short-term lineup changes in the 1990s and 2000s; these included the introduction of vocalist John Corabi (who was Neil's replacement from 1992 to 1996) and drummers Randy Castillo and Samantha Maloney, both of whom filled in for Lee following his departure from Mötley Crüe in 1999; he returned to the band in 2004. In 2022, guitarist Mick Mars announced his retirement from touring with the band, with former Marilyn Manson and Rob Zombie guitarist John 5 taking his place.
