"All She Wants Is" is a song by the English pop rock band Duran Duran. It was released on 19 December 1988 as the second single from their fifth studio album, Big Thing (1988), and reached No. 9 on the UK Singles Chart and No. 22 on the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States. "All She Wants Is" had a bigger impact in the UK than its predecessor ("I Don't Want Your Love"), hitting the top ten; it was the last of twelve UK top ten hits for Duran Duran during the 1980s.
There are seven official mixes of "All She Wants Is", which were all done by Shep Pettibone. The single's B-side is an original medley called "I Believe/All I Need to Know".
Critical reception
Cash Box called it a "growling, thumping rock extravaganza that's danceable."[1] AllMusic thought that the song's tempo was "unfavorable" and "gained most of its attention because of its unorthodox style."[2]
Music video
The video for "All She Wants Is" was shot in London with video director Dean Chamberlain, a well-known photographer who had previously taken pictures and filmed a video for the side project Arcadia. The clip won a 1988 MTV Video Music Award for innovation.[3]
