'All I Need' is a standout track from Radiohead's sixth studio album, 'Hail to the Thief,' which was released on June 9, 2003. The album was recorded during a particularly tumultuous period for the band, both politically and personally, as they navigated the landscape of post-9/11 music. Musically, 'All I Need' features a hauntingly minimalistic arrangement characterized by a steady piano line, atmospheric synthesizers, and Thom Yorke's ethereal vocals. The song stands out for its slow, deliberate pace, contrasting with some of the more frenetic tracks on the album, which reflects the band’s ability to experiment with sound while maintaining their signature melancholic essence.

The song's lyrics explore the complexities of love and the pain of feeling inadequate or unworthy, epitomized in lines like, 'You don't belong to me.'
