"All I Have" is a song by American singer Jennifer Lopez, featuring American rapper LL Cool J. Written by Lopez, Makeba Riddick, Curtis Richardson, and Ron G and produced by Cory Rooney, Ron G, and Dave McPherson, it was released on December 14, 2002, as the second single from Lopez's third studio album, This Is Me... Then (2002).
"All I Have" samples "Very Special" by Debra Laws, who later filed a lawsuit in 2003 against Sony Music Entertainment for "misappropriating her voice" in the song and her name in the credits. The song is a midtempo R&B and hip-hop ballad, about moving on after a breakup. It received favorable reviews from music critics who applauded the chemistry between Lopez and LL Cool J. "All I Have" also samples the "baby don't go" verse from the Joe single "Stutter".
The song was a success on the charts, reaching number one in the United States (becoming Lopez's last number one as of 2024) and in three other countries, and it entered the top 10 in several countries. After the success of "All I Have" with LL Cool J, the track was included on the re-issue of his album 10. The song was ranked as the 15th-most-successful song on the Billboard Hot 100 of 2003 and in 2011, Billboard named the song the 34th Biggest Duet of All Time.[1] Lopez named her 2016 Las Vegas Residency Show, All I Have, after the song.
Background and release
"J. Lo is definitely one of the most focused people I ever met (...) I could see why she's so successful. She definitely has all the star qualities. We got along real well — we made a hot record too.... I like it a lot.... Me and her are getting into it, we had beef on the record. It ain't always peaches and cream. I am trying to reason with her but she ain't trying to hear it."
On October 19, 2002, American rapper LL Cool J revealed that he had just recorded a song for Lopez's then-upcoming album two days prior, saying: "We did a new song for her album. Well it's actually going to be her next single, I think – it's a lot of fun, a lot of fun." He stated that, "It's got like a mid-tempo beat, pretty melody, you know what I'm saying. I'm rapping, she's singing. We go back and forth with stuff. It's kind of cool, it's fly."[3]
Initially, Lopez did not want "All I Have" to be released as a single, as she believed it was too musically similar to her previous singles such as "Ain't It Funny" and "I'm Real"; she felt like she was "visiting old territory". "Those tracks were like a different era for me, and I didn't want people to perceive it like I'm just trying to capitalize on the same thing. But the record company was like, 'Who cares what they think, those are hits mama!'". Lopez, who said she "calls the shots", eventually agreed.[4]
The song was officially sent to urban radio in the United States on December 14, 2002, as the second single from This Is Me... Then.[5] It was later released on March 10, 2003, in the United Kingdom and Australia.[6][7]

Music video
The music video for "All I Have" was directed by Dave Meyers, and was shot in New York City in November 2002.[9] MTV News revealed that Lopez and LL Cool J would be playing ex-lovers in the music video. According to a synopsis provided by Meyers' production company, "They keep seeing visions of each other, and you get the feeling that they are still very much in love, yet they don't get back together because they feel that this is the best thing for them. It will have a very happy winter wonderland-type feel, but a sad vibe."[9] The video was shot right before Thanksgiving, but did not premiere on television until after Christmas.[9]
The video features Lopez and LL as former lovers now broken up. The two recall the good and bad times while dealing with being alone for the holidays. Lopez shows up to LL's house with a gift. With him not there, she puts the gift under the tree. He later sees the gift under the tree and realizes it was from Lopez. He opens the gift and sees a golden key. Upset at the relationship being over, he throws the key in the fireplace while a tearful Lopez gets help from her friends with her things.[9]
The music video became one of the most played clips on networks such as
