Background and release
"All My Love" was written by Lorde (credited under her birth-name Ella Yelich-O'Connor), Ariana Grande and MØ (credited under her birth-name Karen Ørsted), while production of the song was handled by Boaz van de Beatz, Jr Blender and Diplo, a member of Major Lazer. Lorde's desire to include "All My Love" on the film's soundtrack led Diplo to rush the production process of the song. In an annotation posted to Genius that Diplo wrote, he mentioned that he was on vacation in London at the same time Grande was there. He managed to communicate with her and go "back and forth with certain mixes." Diplo said that he was willing to "screw around" and surprise people with "this kind of collaboration."
