Background and composition
"All for Us" comprises "vocal choruses and gritty synths to create a dreadful atmosphere that's quickly contrasted with a lovesick chorus".[5] It depicts him as "determined to make things work between him and his partner" as he "reflects on his parents' poor marriage".[5] A reworked version, which features American actress and singer Zendaya, was released in August.[6] The reworked version appeared on Labrinth's second studio album, Imagination & the Misfit Kid.[7] It has been described as "dark and epic, with a buzzing bass and chanting vocals".[8]
Appearances in other media
