Music video

**"All of Me"** is a song by American singer John Legend from his fourth studio album *Love in the Future* (2013). It is dedicated to Legend's wife Chrissy Teigen. "All of Me" first aired on American mainstream urban radio as the album's third single on August 12, 2013.
"All of Me" peaked at No. 1 on the *Billboard* Hot 100, dethroning "Happy" by Pharrell Williams, which had spent 10 weeks atop the chart; it was Legend's first number-one single in the United States. The single peaked at No. 2 in the United Kingdom, South Africa and New Zealand and topped the charts in Australia, Canada, Ireland, Portugal, Sweden, Switzerland and the Netherlands. It became the second best-selling song of 2014 in the United States with 4.67 million copies sold for the year, the third best-selling song in the United Kingdom, and the third best selling song worldwide with 12.3 million copies sold for the year.
A remix of "All of Me" featuring EDM artist Tiësto was released on January 2014 and won the 2015 Grammy Award for Best Remixed Recording, Non-Classical. A live version of the song was nominated for Best Pop Solo Performance, but lost to Williams' "Happy".
In *Sing*, Johnny sings this song while playing the piano as one of his rehearsals for Nana Noodleman's upcoming visit to the Moon Theater.

Lyrics

**[Verse 1]**
What would I do without your smart mouth?
Drawin' me in and you kickin' me out
You've got my head spinnin', no kiddin'
I can't pin you down
What's goin' on in that beautiful mind?
I'm on your magical mystery ride
And I'm so dizzy, don't know what hit me
But I'll be alright

**[Pre-Chorus]**
My head's under water, but I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

**[Chorus]**
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

**[Post-Chorus]**
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh

**[Verse 2]**
How many times do I have to tell you?
Even when you're crying, you're beautiful too
The world is beating you down, I'm around
Through every mood
You're my downfall, you're my muse
My worst distraction, my rhythm and blues
I can't stop singing, it's ringing
In my head for you

**[Pre-Chorus]**
My head's under water, but I'm breathing fine
You're crazy and I'm out of my mind

**[Chorus]**
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

**[Post-Chorus]**
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh

**[Bridge]**
Give me all of you, oh
Cards on the table, we're both showing hearts
Risking it all, though it's hard

**[Chorus]**
'Cause all of me
Loves all of you
Love your curves and all your edges
All your perfect imperfections
Give your all to me
I'll give my all to you
You're my end and my beginnin'
Even when I lose, I'm winnin'

**[Post-Chorus]**
'Cause I give you all of me
And you give me all of you

**[Outro]**
I give you all of me
And you give me all of you, oh-oh
