All of Me
Every single part
"All of Me" is a 1931 jazz standard, recorded by countless artists from Billie Holiday to Willie Nelson.
The phrase means one's complete self—body, heart, and soul—typically offered to a romantic partner: Take all of me.
John Legend's 2013 ballad revived the phrase for a new generation.
More generally, all of me emphasizes total commitment or involvement: I gave all of me to that project.
