John Legend releases new single All She Wanna Do
Saweetie and John Legend worked together on a new song called “All She Wanna Do,” which was published by John Legend on August 5, 2022. Legend compared the groove of the song to a mash-up of sorts between the time period of Michael Jackson’s album Off the Wall and the groove of Whitney Houston’s song “I Wanna Dance With Somebody.”
Ryan Tedder, Monsters and Strangerz, Zach Sketon, Andrew DeRoberts, and Halatrax all contributed to the writing and production of the tune in some capacity.
Honey is an R&B track that features Muni Long, while Dope is a track that features JID. Both of these songs were previously released as singles from the upcoming album by the vocalist.
A unique performance by the singer is going to take place at London’s Royal Albert Hall on April 5, 2023, according to an announcement made earlier this year. In addition, Legend will perform his Love in Las Vegas engagement at the Zappos Theatre in August and then again in October.
