"Everything We Need" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his ninth studio album, Jesus Is King (2019). The song features guest appearances from American singers Ty Dolla Sign and Ant Clemons, and additional vocals by the Sunday Service Choir. It was come up with during a freestyle session in the fall of 2018, inspired by a conversation West had with Clemons about Jesus and religion. The song was recorded as a new version of the leaked track "The Storm".

A gospel and R&B ballad with trap elements, "Everything We Need" is reliant on a sparse arrangement. Lyrically, it is themed around being ready for meeting any hardship and need after a religious rebirth. The song received lukewarm reviews from music critics, who mostly complimented the vocals of Ty Dolla Sign and Clemons. Some highlighted the song structure, though critics were generally split towards West's verses.

"Everything We Need" reached number 33 on the US Billboard Hot 100, becoming one of Clemons' first two appearances on the chart. It peaked within the top 50 in 10 other countries, including Australia and Iceland. The song was certified gold in the United States by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA), giving West his record-setting 85th single to attain this certification. On Easter 2019, it was performed by the Sunday Service Choir at the Coachella Festival. The group performs the song in West's film Jesus Is King, which accompanied the album.
