"You're All I Have" opened the Eyes Open era in April 2006, the lead single from Snow Patrol's fourth album and the Northern Irish band's second big hit after "Run" in 2004. It climbed to number seven on the UK singles chart, and RTÉ Sport used it to trumpet the return of The Sunday Game for the 2006 GAA Championships.

Gary Lightbody wrote the words about a love that wounds and sustains you at once, the kind that scares you stiff while you keep staring straight at it, and he pitched the whole album as a make-up record rather than a break-up one. The music is credited to Lightbody, Nathan Connolly, Jonny Quinn, Tom Simpson and Paul Wilson. Jacknife Lee produced it and added backing vocals alongside Iain and Paul Archer, and Cenzo Townshend mixed it. "Chasing Cars" came next.
