Background

Mark Foster, lead singer of Foster the People, said in a press release: "When I was in New York a few months ago, I popped over to say hi to The Knocks guys, as I hadn't caught up with them in a while. [...] We were hanging at their studio, playing various things for each other that we had been working on. One of those songs was a rough instrumental version of 'All About You'. I put a bass line and a chord change on it, and was surprised when they sent me a fully realized song a few months later." He then completed the track remotely at his studio located in Los Angeles.[3]

Content

Ben Ruttner of the Knocks explained in an interview that the song is based on a beat made from T. L. Barrett's song "Like a Ship" (1988).[4] The song is written in the key of G♯ Major, with a tempo of 102 beats per minute.[5]

Music video

The music video was released on January 13, 2021, and directed by Nathan R. Smith. It showcases Foster and others "walk[ing] along dark city streets" appearing "downtrodden".[6][7]
