"That's All" is a song by Genesis. The song, a group composition with lyrics written by lead singer/drummer Phil Collins, appears as the second track on their 1983 eponymous album, and was its second single after "Mama".

The US single, which went to #6 in early-1984, included "Second Home by the Sea" as the B-side. The UK single featured "Taking It All Too Hard" as the flipside, and went to #16. Another single version included a live section of "Firth of Fifth".

The song begins with Tony Banks playing the main riff of the song on a Yamaha CP-70 Electric Grand Piano. The other keyboards used on this song are a Sequential Circuits Prophet-10 for organ pads and a Synclavier II for the organ solo in the middle section. The coda features a guitar solo played by Mike Rutherford, as the drum beat intensifies, before the song fades away. The melody of the guitar solo borrows heavily from Steve Hackett's guitar solo on "The Fountain Of Salmacis".

The video depicts the band as homeless men playing cards and keeping warm at an open fire. It was the first time Genesis used director Jim Yukich for one of their promos.
