The tune is a mid-tempo pop/rock song, and is marked by a loud, thwacking drum rhythm and a prominent slide guitar solo.

"Everything I Need" peaked at #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 and #37 on the Australian chart. It was the last Men at Work single to make the charts.[1]

Reception

Cash Box magazine said "Australia's first big American breaker has fallen from the public eye due to a lack of recent product, but this latest single from the band's upcoming LP recaptures the quirky melodic charm that made the band such a multi-format winner the first time around."[2]
