"Everybody Here Wants You" was the lead single from Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk, the posthumous Jeff Buckley album that Columbia released in 1998, and it's a slow, simmering soul ballad that shows off his voice at its most seductive. Buckley wrote words and music himself, and the track glides on a smoky, late-night groove while he croons and coos over it.
It earned a nomination for Best Male Rock Vocal Performance at the 41st Grammy Awards in 1999, and in 2011 NME ranked it number 88 on its list of the 150 best tracks of the previous 15 years.
