We All Want the Same Things is the third studio album by Craig Finn.[13] It was released on Partisan Records on March 24, 2017.[14]

The title comes from a line in the song "God in Chicago".[15] Craig Finn said, "It seems like a bit of dark humor in these turbulent political times, but it also rings true: No matter our differences, we all have some very basic wants and needs that line up with each other."[15]
