"All About You" is a song by the Rolling Stones featured as the closing track to their 1980 album "Emotional Rescue". It is sung by guitarist Keith Richards.

Credited to the writing team of Mick Jagger and Richards, "All About You" is solely the work of Richards. The song is a slow bittersweet ballad that has been interpreted as a final comment on the Anita Pallenberg romance that began in 1967 and ended in 1979 when Richards met his future wife model Patti Hansen. Richards' lyrics and singing express mixed feelings of attachment and revulsion; however, the song may also be interpreted as an early sign of the fracturing relationship between the longtime leaders of the band. Keith Richards had "cleaned up" after his 1977 Toronto heroin bust and wanted to take more responsibility back from Jagger. The lead singer and lead businessman had kept the band rolling through the worst period of Richards excesses in the 70s, and in several interviews, Richards stated he immediately encountered resistance from Jagger regarding his new interest in taking some of the front man’s burden. [ "Keith Richards – Interview". "Rolling Stone" (magazine) November 12, 1981.]

Richards said in 2002, "I went through a very tough thing in the early '80s with Mick. So you get some songs like 'All About You,' to name just one. There's more on some of the Expensive Winos records." Saxophonist Bobby Keys said of the song, "It had a little bit of sentimental input there about his feelings for Mick at the time. Just listen to the lyrics." In the song, Richards bemoans a relationship he's in with harsh lyrics;

On the writing, Richards said, "That song was hanging around for three years. After researching to make sure it wasn't somebody else who wrote it, I finally decided that it must have been me." Recording took place between January and February of 1978 during the last recordings made for "Some Girls". A sign of his closeness to the song, Richards performs bass, piano, and also electric guitars and backing vocals with Ron Wood. Keys performs the song's distinctive saxophone. Charlie Watts performs drums.

"All About You" was performed by Richards during the 1997-1998 Bridges to Babylon Tour and the 1999 No Security Tour.
