"Everything She Wants" foi gravada em agosto de 1984 no Marcadet Studios, em Paris, usando um gravador 32‑faixas 3M, e finalizada em London no Studio 2 da Sarm West.
George Michael gravou o single totalmente sozinho, com apenas o engenheiro Chris Porter presente, seguindo a mesma abordagem que usaria para "Last Christmas".
A música começou como um loop de 2 barras de LinnDrum, que permaneceu no disco final apesar de ter sido apenas um guia inicial.
Embora lançada em 3 dezembro de 1984 como dupla A‑side com "Last Christmas", a faixa só alcançou o topo do Billboard Hot 100 nos EUA em fevereiro de 1985, permanecendo em #1 por duas semanas entre maio e junho daquele ano.
O sucesso de "Everything She Wants" contribuiu para que o álbum Make It Big atingisse seu terceiro single consecutivo a vender mais de um milhão de cópias nos Estados Unidos.
George Michael descreveu a composição como “a única música que nasceu a partir de uma faixa de acompanhamento” e destacou que a letra trata de um homem “seis ou oito meses de casamento” que se vê preso a uma família que ele não queria.
