"All Mine" is a song by American rapper Kanye West from his eighth studio album, Ye (2018). The song features vocals from American singers Ty Dolla Sign and Ant Clemons. The song's production relies on a simplistic drum-led style and was primarily handled by West, while it was co-produced by Mike Dean and additional production was handled by Francis and the Lights, and Scott Carter. West co-wrote the song alongside 13 others, with the information being revealed what lyrics co-writer Consequence was responsible for.
On July 20, 2018, West picked "All Mine" to be the second single from the album. Four days later, the song was released as a single to US rhythmic contemporary radio stations by GOOD Music and Def Jam. It features industrial sounds, alongside organ music. Throughout the song, West defends his dating preferences as well as taking a look at various dating choices and responding to criticism. Controversial lyrics are included within it in reference to Khloé Kardashian's relationship with Tristan Thompson, which she seemingly responded to via Snapchat.
"All Mine" received generally positive reviews from
Background and recording
"All Mine" originated as a demo by American singer Jeremih, who is credited as a songwriter on the track.[2][3] Jeremih collaborator Bongo ByTheWay introduced him to the relatively-unknown Ant Clemons, with Bongo ByTheWay having previously recorded 11 records in a single day with Clemons.[2] Jeremih was invited to Wyoming by West for participation in the recording sessions for Ye in 2018 and he played the demo for West, who then performed for it.[2][4] Clemons saw an increase in fame after working with West.[5]
Along with "All Mine", Ty Dolla Sign contributed vocals on Ye tracks "Violent Crimes" and "Wouldn't Leave".[3] On June 4, 2018, three days after the album's release, a collaborative album with West was teased by Ty Dolla Sign.[6] He recalled "going off on the backgrounds, no Auto-Tune" when working with West in a phone conversation with Rolling Stone on August 30 of that year.[7] American pop project Francis and the Lights had previously released a cover version of West's hit single "Can't Tell Me Nothing" (2007), which West shared a link to via his blog on February 7, 2009.[8] The two subsequently collaborated on the 2016 single "Friends" alongside Bon Iver and the track's music video includes an appearance from West.[8][9] Outside of "All Mine", Francis and the Lights has production credits on Ye tracks "I Thought About Killing You" and "Ghost Town".[3]
The possessive pronoun "Mine" being included in the title of the song is linked to the subject matter. West had been criticized for dating options in the past, specifically when he dated American model and actress Amber Rose. "All Mine" does not stand as the only song linked to West's perspective of women on the album, as he raps about protecting them on "Violent Crimes".[10]
Composition and lyrics
"All Mine" features an unpolished beat, which includes industrial screeches.[11] Organ music heard in a church is juxtaposed with references to celebrity icons in "All Mine", including Naomi Campbell and Stormy Daniels.[12][13] The intro of the song consists of Clemons singing and Ty Dolla Sign providing various ad-libs.[14][15] Falsetto vocals are featured in the intro, which are performed by Clemons.[2][13][16] He sings the song's chorus, with the "genie in a bottle" metaphor of the lyrics "Get to rubbin' on my lamp/Get the genie out the bottle" doubling as a sexual innuendo.[12][17] West defends his dating preferences whilst taking a look at various dating choices within his two verses on the song, as well as responding to critics.[10][12] The first verse also sees West rap about scandals and affairs, among other forms of infidelity.[12] In West's second verse, crashes of sound are heard every time he raps "Ay".[18]
Writing and production
"All Mine" was written by West,
West produced the track, with co-production from Dean and additional production from Francis and the Lights, and Scott Carter.[3] Francis and the Lights contributed to both the production and writing of it.[21] The track's production relies on a simplistic drum-led style, with it being where the harmonic progression of the album momentarily stops.[10][22]
Release and promotion
On June 1, 2018, "All Mine" was released as the third track on West's eighth studio album Ye.[23] West subsequently selected the song as the second single from the album on July 20 of that year, succeeding the lead single "Yikes"; it was set to be serviced to radio stations across the United States in the next week.[24] Despite the first single "Yikes" debuting at #8 on the Billboard Hot 100,[25] West's record labels GOOD Music and Def Jam tried their best to make sure that Ye did not lose momentum by readying a second single to be pushed.[24] The song was the album's top performing track on Spotify in the US at the time of being picked by West for release as a single, sitting at approximately 600,000 streams a day.[24] Four days after being selected as a single by West, it was serviced to US rhythmic contemporary radio stations through his record labels.[26]

Controversy
West raps a
One day after the release of Ye, Khloé Kardashian seemingly insulted West by sharing a Snapchat post of her working out to the track "Delicate" (2018) by his rival Taylor Swift, whom West dissed most recently in his 2016 single "Famous" by calling her "that bitch."[41] Despite this, Kardashian had praise for the album overall, tweeting out fire emojis next to its title.[42] Her younger half-sister Kylie Jenner rapped along with the diss to Thompson in a video posted to Jenner's Snapchat at a later date with Anastasia Karanikolaou and the video clip gathered more attention after it surfaced on Instagram.[43]
