"Everybody Here Wants You" is a song by American musician Jeff Buckley, released as the lead single from the posthumous album Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk. It was written as a love song for Joan Wasser, his girlfriend at the time. In October 2011, NME placed it at number 88 on its list "150 Best Tracks of the Past 15 Years".[1] Kylie Auldist recorded a cover version with The Bamboos for the album Just Say (TRUCD159), as did the French band MIG (vocalist: Djazia Satour) on their 2004 album, Dhikrayat and Lewis Taylor on his 2000 album, Lewis II. The single was nominated for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at 41st Annual Grammy Awards in 1999.
The Australian version includes an interactive component (the same as that featured on other countries' versions of Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk).
