"All That" is a song by Canadian singer Carly Rae Jepsen from her third studio album, Emotion (2015). It was released as the first promotional single from the album on June 3, 2015, via 604, School Boy, and Interscope Records.[3] The song was written by Jepsen and producers Ariel Rechtshaid, and Dev Hynes.

Upon its release, "All That" was praised for the 1980s influence in the song.[4][5] Jepsen debuted the song at Saturday Night Live on 4 April 2015 and it became available to digital retailers the next day on 5 April 2015, as the record's first promotional single.

Background

[edit]

Jepsen began combing through Dev Hynes' discography after becoming infatuated with "Losing You" by Solange and finding Hynes listed in its production credits.[6] Jepsen sought to work with him, stating she was a fan, which Hynes hesitated to believe. He was eventually "won over" by Jepsen's demonstration of her vocal ability and work ethic, and credited her with genuine intentions of "[developing] a new aesthetic" versus pursuing "Pitchfork-approved artists" for the sake of indie credibility.[7] The pair worked in a Chelsea studio between Jepsen's Cinderella performances.[8] Jepsen was sent a demo of "All That" where she wrote the bridge and produced the vocals herself, and Ariel Rechtshaid was brought in for additional work.[9] In an interview with NPR, Jepsen called the song "probably [her] favorite song from the album".[10]

Live performances

[edit]

Jepsen served as musical guest during an episode of Saturday Night Live on 4 April 2015, and performed "I Really Like You" and "All That".[11] In 2016, she performed the song at the YouTube Space in Los Angeles[12] and Pitchfork Music Festival,[13] both times accompanied by Dev Hynes.

Critical reception

[edit]
Many critics noted Prince's influence on "All That".

Pitchfork Media awarded "All That" their "Best New Track" feature, calling the song's conclusion a "tour de force climax". They add that the chorus has "innocence set against its absence" and makes "finding a friend feels like a profound step beyond becoming lovers".[14]
