"All 'Bout the Money" (sometimes spelled as "All About the Money") is a song written by Swedish singer and songwriter Meja with Douglas Carr, and released as a single from Meja's second studio album, Seven Sisters (1998).[1][2] The single was first issued in Japan in February 1998 and was released around Europe throughout the rest of the year.
"All 'Bout the Money" experienced chart success in many countries, peaking within the top 10 in Denmark, Greece, Japan, the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden. In the United Kingdom, "All 'Bout the Money" reached number 12, while in the United States, it peaked at number 36 on the Billboard Dance Club Play chart and number 37 on the Billboard Mainstream Top 40 chart.
Chuck Taylor from Billboard described the song as an "acoustic guitar-based pop tune that's at once intelligent, clever, and hooky enough to turn ships back to shore." He noted further that "this is mature pop from a budding artist who has plenty to say" and "it's got "hit" emblazoned on every note."[3] In 2012, Porcys listed the song at number 14 in their ranking of "100 Singles 1990-1999".[4]
