"All Good?" is the second single from De La Soul's fifth album, Art Official Intelligence: Mosaic Thump, released on August 23, 2000. It was a collaboration between the group and soul legend Chaka Khan, who sings an extended hook that leads into each verse. The song was notably popular in Europe where it received numerous remix treatments.

The song talks about people who abandoned or shunned the group after their initial commercial success and popularity took a dive, and those who attempt to hop back on the bandwagon. The title of the song is a phrase implying that something is either okay ("all good") or not okay ("it ain't all good") as sung by Chaka, during the chorus. The music video version of this song takes place at a car wash based on the film Car Wash and features a cameo appearance from actor Frank Vincent.
