All Day

About this song

Kanye West first mentioned the song in a June 2014 interview with GQ, but it took months to reach release, debuting at the 2015 Brit Awards alongside grime artists including Skepta, Stormzy and Krept & Konan. The track features Allan Kingdom, Theophilus London and Paul McCartney, marking McCartney's third collaboration with West. Its melody was inspired by a tune McCartney whistled in a 1999 Parkinson interview, and that tune can be heard at the end of the song. The song was the centerpiece of the scrapped album So Help Me God, and was removed before the later tracklist for The Life Of Pablo was released.
