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". It depicts him as "determined to make things work between him and his partner" as he "reflects on his parents' poor marriage". A reworked version, which features American actress and singer Zendaya, was released in August. The reworked version appeared on Labrinth's second studio album, Imagination & the Misfit Kid. It has been described as "dark and epic, with a buzzing bass and chanting vocals".
