Bono Dedicates U2 Song ‘All I Want Is You’ to First Lady Jill Biden

U2 frontman Bono devoted the tune “All I Want Is You” to First Lady Jill Biden whereas wrapping up the band’s inaugural residency at Las Vegas’ $2.3 billion Sphere area over the weekend.

Before performing the band’s 1988 hit, “All I Want Is You,” Bono mentioned that he was dedicating the tune to “one woman in particular,” which was Jill Biden.

Watch Below:

“This song, when we wrote it, I tried to write the lyrics from the point of view of the woman or the bride, in this case, which is pretty arrogant, I suppose. That was a trick for me to get to the lyric I was playing on myself,” Bono defined.

“So tonight I want to dedicate it to all the great women in our lives,” Bono continued. “Our partners, our mothers, our daughters, all the women on the U2 crew, all the great women in our audience that we feel we know, and all the great women in parts of the world going through very difficult circumstances that we could never know.”

“And one woman in particular who’s with us tonight,” the U2 frontman added. “She’s a teacher, she’s your First Lady. So this is for Jill Biden. It’s a wedding song.”

Jill Biden reportedly arrived in Las Vegas on Saturday forward of a marketing campaign occasion for her husband President Joe Biden, who’s vying to win the swing state of Nevada within the upcoming presidential election.
