"'All I Really Want'" is a song written by Alanis Morissette and Glen Ballard, and produced by Ballard for Morissette's third album, 'Jagged Little Pill' (1995). It was released as the album's sixth and final single in the United Kingdom in November 1996, in the United States the following month, and in Australia in February 1997.
