Photos: Andy Grammer to Release ALL I WANT IS YOU Single August 14
The love song reflects on ambition, distraction, and family as the artist's true priorities.
Andy Grammer is set to release his new single ALL I WANT IS YOU on Friday, August 14, marking the latest preview of his forthcoming sixth studio album, BIG STUPID HEART. The album is scheduled for release October 16 via S-Curve Records/Hollywood Records. Described as a heartfelt declaration of love, the song follows Grammer as he reflects on the goals, ambitions and distractions that can pull attention away from what matters most, arriving at the realization that the love he sought was already present in his life.
A heartfelt declaration of love, 'All I Want Is You' finds Grammer taking stock of the ambitions and distractions that can pull us away from what matters most. After chasing money, success and the promise of a dream that ultimately left him unfulfilled, he arrives at a simple realization: everything he has been looking for has been right in front of him all along.
'Take all the paper and light it on fire / I don't need the money, it won't get me higher,' Grammer sings before the song opens into its irresistible refrain: 'All I want is you.'
On the new song Grammer said: 'I wish I was better at remembering this, but I can get pretty caught up in chasing the next thing - the next goal, the next accomplishment, whatever I've decided is going to make me feel like I've finally arrived. 'All I Want Is You' is a reminder to myself in song form that my wife and daughters are my north star.'
At its heart, 'All I Want Is You' poses the question that anchors the song: What if we have been wasting precious time chasing something that cannot compare to the love already in front of us? Romantic, sincere and unabashedly open-hearted, the track captures the central spirit of Big Stupid Heart and Grammer's belief that choosing love is never something to be embarrassed by.
The song follows the release of 'Best Hearts' and album title track 'Big Stupid Heart,' which introduced the deeply personal and emotionally expansive world of Grammer's forthcoming album. Across its 13 tracks, Big Stupid Heart pairs sweeping pop arrangements, choral vocals and cello with intimate songwriting about grief, resilience, connection and the decision to remain open-hearted in a world that often rewards cynicism.
The album's lead single, 'Best Hearts,' was inspired by a listener voicemail submitted through Grammer's podcast, Showing Up With Andy Grammer. A mother shared the story of her son, who found the strength to comfort another patient while receiving treatment for his own mental health struggles, and asked Grammer to write about people carrying tremendous pain who still find a way to show up for others.
The resulting song became a stirring tribute to those who have been shattered by life and still choose strength, compassion and openness. It also reflects Grammer's own experience of losing his mother when he was 25 and the years it took him to find hope again.
'I wanted to make a record that feels like permission to care deeply again,' Grammer previously shared. 'Big Stupid Heart celebrates the kind of people who refuse to let heartbreak make them cynical. Honestly, this is a daily battle for me. It's my anti-cynicism battle cry.'
Following Grammer's 2024 album Monster, which made space for anger, grief and emotional honesty in a bold new way, Big Stupid Heart represents an evolution rather than a return to form. The album finds Grammer choosing sweetness, sincerity and love not out of naïveté, but as an act of resilience.
Grammer is currently bringing Big Stupid Heart directly to audiences across the country on his summer headline tour, with a performance tonight at Harrah's Council Bluffs' Stir Cove in Council Bluffs, Iowa. The tour continues through August 30 before Grammer returns to the intimate, story-driven format of Greater Than Pt. II: A One Man Show beginning November 3.
The solo concert experience blends Grammer's biggest hits with candid storytelling, audience interaction and personal moments with fans. Full tour dates and ticket information are available at AndyGrammer.com.

About Andy Grammer
Emmy Award winner and multi-platinum artist Andy Grammer has built a career on songs that turn optimism into something anthemic, honest and deeply human. After getting discovered on Santa Monica's Third Street Promenade in 2009, Grammer broke out in 2011 with his upbeat, sunshine-laced single 'Keep Your Head Up.' Since then, he has become one of pop music's most beloved and enduring voices, earning eight gold and platinum certifications, nearly 50 national television appearances and more than four billion career artist streams.
His catalog includes fan-favorite hits such as 'Honey, I'm Good,' 'Fresh Eyes,' 'Don't Give Up On Me,' 'I Am Yours' and 'The Good Parts,' with songs that have soundtracked everything from family milestones to viral social moments across the globe. Known for his magnetic live show and signature blend of heartfelt songwriting, soaring hooks and communal, feel-good pop, Grammer has performed on major national platforms including Live with Kelly & Mark, Good Morning America, TODAY, The Tonight Show, The Kelly Clarkson Show, Dancing with the Stars, American Idol and more.
His 2024 album Monster, which found Grammer exploring anger, grief and emotional honesty in a bold new way, has surpassed 600 million streams worldwide. Across his career, Grammer has amassed a global fanbase and massive social footprint, including more than 450,000 new followers across TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube over the past year alone, as well as more than three billion lifetime TikTok views.
Beyond music, Grammer continues to build community through his podcast, Showing Up With Andy Grammer.
