“The impact of ‘All of Me’ continues to amaze and inspire me,” John Legend told Spotify. “I’m so honoured to know we created something that has meant so much to so many people. I wrote this song to express how I felt to the woman I love as we were about to commit to a lifetime together. But, often, the best songs are able to express something in a way that is both personal and universal. I’m grateful to know that lovers around the world have connected with this song and made it their own.” Go to our blog post on For the Record to learn what John says fans share with him about “All of Me.”

And according to John, the track has wife Chrissy Teigen’s stamp of approval: see ourblog post for more on that, plus John shares the couple’s plans for this Valentine’s Day.
