After much anticipation, Kehlani joins forces with fellow Oakland songstress Keyshia Cole on “All Me.”
Earlier in the week, Kehlani dropped a snippet of the track and teased a mysterious collaboration with the “queen of Oakland.” Fans immediately started speculating that it was Keyshia and after a viral movement, Kehlani decided to drop the track as an early Christmas present to fans.
The Bay Area natives show out on the mid-tempo bop, produced by Reecebeats and P-Lo. “When you see him, know it’s all me,” sings Lani, while Keyshia responds, “Knowing I’m a movement / Movement all by myself / But loving every minute, yeah.”
Taking to Twitter, Kehlani reflected on the anticipation surrounding “All Me.” “i’ve never had a song hype like this before it dropped,” she tweeted. “i’ve never had this much energy for a musical release! this is so incredible. i just wanna say thank you, this is some really epic shit.”
Kehlani, who dropped her mixtape While We Wait in February, did not intend for the song to be a single off her upcoming album. “This was accidental. this wasn’t my planned single,” she wrote, “this isnt a part of the roll out for my album… i put a snippet up & y’all made it viral. i’m putting it out because of y’all. thank you!!!!”
