All I Need’ is an anthemic, ‘hopeless romantic’ Pop ballad that paints the inner complexities we face when falling in love. Taylor wrote this song during a session with Auckland based producer Will Henderson, with a heavy nod to his obsession for nostalgic 80’s artists like Prince, Tears For Fears and Chicago and fusing it with his love for modern day Pop and R&B. This is Taylor’s second instalment of 2021, following his recent single ‘why can’t we?’.
This song is a self reflection of the inner battles faced upon realization when we’re undoubtedly falling for someone. Taylor wanted ‘All I Need’ to express this not just lyrically, but heavily within the melody. The verses are structured to feel a sort of dark tension, reflecting the self doubts around ‘do they like me back? Do they feel the same?’ during the early stages of a relationship. This is contrasted with the choruses that explode with an empowering swell of synths and big vocals - embracing the idea of just letting guards down and being true to what you feel, because regardless of what they reciprocate, you know that underneath all the self doubt, they’re all you need.
‘All I Need’ will be accompanied by a lyric visual filmed and edited by Taylor which captures the tension and complex ideas within the track in a simple, visual form, sticking to the vintage 80’s aesthetic.
