Chris Janson Shares Sentimental Story Behind Top 10 Hit “All I Need Is You”

Chris Janson‘s song “All I Need Is You” has earned him his first Top 10 hit at Big Machine Label Group and on his new label Harpeth 60 Records – and he’s got something sweet to say about it.

“It’s a true story, just like the song talks about,” said Janson.  “I went, ‘Damn, I truly think she’s remarkable.’”

“It’s just from real-life snapshots of where I was sitting,” he said. “I want to take a trip in a Chevrolet to a beach house down 30a,” he quoted from the song.

“We had driven a suburban that trip to the house.  And at the end of the day, ‘All I Need’ is pretty much what I tell my wife all the time.  If everything went away, I’m good with it.  Just as long as I have faith, family, and happiness, and that’s what brings me the most happiness.”

Janson knows fans love the song.  But he credits Brad Clawson’s original demo of “All I Need Is You.”  Some songs need tweaking, but Janson stated that “All I Need Is You” was a smash from the start.

If everything you owned went away, what would you lean on to find happiness?
