The song came about in a period when [[Beth Hirsch]] and Air members [[Nicolas Godin]] and [[Jean-Benoît Dunckel]] all resided in the French district of [[Montmartre]]. Hirsch had gone to record in the house of a producer who also lived in the neighborhood. In the house, Godin was sitting on a couch, waiting to meet her. Having heard a demo of Hirsch's, he invited her to record some tracks for ''Moon Safari''. Following this invitation, Hirsch wrote the lyrics and melody of "All I Need". At the request of the band, she went on to compose another track for the album, "You Make It Easy".{{cite web|url=http://www.retrosellers.com/features240.htm |title=Beth Hirsch interview |work=retrosellers.com |accessdate=14 June 2012 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120223094805/http://www.retrosellers.com/features240.htm |archive-date=23 February 2012 }} |

Speaking about |
Speaking about Air's decision to work with Hirsch, Jean-Benoît Dunckel told [[Stereogum]]: "[S]he had a very folk sound because she was used to playing acoustic guitar and singing. We liked that American attitude a lot, so when we met her we fused the track with her voice. That was perfect, because the song was really mellow. We wanted a conclusion at the end that was mellow and a little bit dark — melancholic. In the song, she talks about the planets and being behind the sun — the fact that you float around the planets — and we talked about that for Moon Safari a lot."https://stereogum.com/2254698/air-moon-safari-behind-the-scenes/interviews |
