"For the Girl Who Has Everything" is a song by American boy band NSYNC. It was released as the fourth single from their self-titled debut album. It was released in August 1997, exclusively on the German market. The track was later included on the US version of their debut album. This is the first ballad song of the group. The lyrics tell about a lady who has everything (mostly material) except love, and the speaker is willing to give her love.

Composition

"For the Girl Who Has Everything" is a teen pop and contemporary R&B song with latin, soul, tejano, reggae, and funk elements. The song is composed in the key of D minor and is set in the time signature of 4
4 common time, with a moderately slow tempo of 85 beats per minute. Sheet music published at Musicnotes.com shows that the vocal range of the members of NSYNC spans from D4 to A5.[1]

Music video

The video premiered on terrestrial television in August 1997. The video features the band stranded on a beach, attempting to send messages to a lady, in an attempt to get her to rescue them. The video intertwines clips of the band with clips of the wealthy, yet lonely girl, who has been left at home on her birthday by her parents. The girl, being cared for by household staff, seems to have everything except love. The video was partly recorded in the north of Spain, in Santander. The version of the video included on 'N the Mix is adjusted to the remix of the song, which had Justin Timberlake sing the second verse in place of JC Chasez.
