The song was one of three collaborations between West and McCartney to be released, with the other two being the singles " Only One" (2014) and " FourFiveSeconds" (2015), the latter of which includes Barbadian singer Rihanna alongside the two. West later performed it live on multiple occasions in 2015, including at the NBA Playoffs and Glastonbury Festival.
The song was first performed by West at the 2015 Brit Awards, with the performance including flamethrowers and he was accompanied by numerous other rappers. It has since been certified Gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and Silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI) in the US and UK, respectively. "All Day" reached the top 20 in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Scotland in 2015. At the 58th Grammy Awards, the song was nominated for both Best Rap Song and Best Rap Performance. It was named to year-end lists for 2015 by multiple publications, including NME and Pitchfork. The focus around his vocals was often placed on the flow and lyrical content, while a few critics complemented the catchiness of the song. "All Day" received generally positive reviews from music critics, who mostly praised West's vocals. The video sees West in a warehouse room running around, though he becomes tired and a song entitled "I Feel Like That" is played. The accompanying Steve McQueen-directed music video was announced in March 2015 and ultimately released in February 2016. The lyrics center around West boasting about being successful and winning in life, with West comparing certain lyrics to the work of Jay-Z. It includes elements of industrial and drill music, alongside synthesizers. The song contains a re-recorded sample of " When the Wind is Blowing" by Paul McCartney and Wings (known to fans as "Two Fingers") and an interpolation from "Dance with Me" by Jamaican singer Noel Ellis. The following day, it was released for digital download and streaming as a standalone single, through GOOD Music and Def Jam. Having initially leaked in August 2014 after being announced for release as a single by West, he premiered the song on Mavia Power 106 and Hot 97. The song was produced by West and ten others.
It features American rapper Theophilus London, Canadian rapper Allan Kingdom, and English musician Paul McCartney. " All Day" is a song by American rapper Kanye West.
