Leer másBackground and writing
The title was inspired by The Three Musketeers` motto: "All for one, and one for all".
Critical reception
Alan Jones from Music Week rated "All for Love" five out of five. He wrote, "With the minimum of formalities Bryan, Rod and Sting launch into their three-way rendition of this powerful ballad from the movie The Three Musketeers. Their vocals blend well, and though the song itself is a trifle predictable, their combined fan base should be strong enough to send this hurtling into the Top Five in next to no time."[6] Mark Frith from Smash Hits gave it four out of five, stating that it has "drama and powerful choruses on top. And it`s got one of those searing guitar solos in the middle." He added, "Genius! Love or hate it, you can`t deny the professionalism that will probably make this number 1."[7]
Chart performance
In the United States, the single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 on January 22, 1994. It remained atop the charts for three weeks before it was knocked out of the top spot by "The Power of Love" by Celine Dion.[8] It sold 1.2 million copies domestically and earned a platinum certification from the RIAA.[9][10][11] In Canada, the song reached number one on the RPM Singles chart on January 17, 1994, replacing Adams`s solo hit "Please Forgive Me", which had been number one for six weeks.[12] With "All for Love" remaining at number one for five weeks, Adams was in the number one position for 11 straight weeks on the Canadian chart. In the United Kingdom, it reached number two on the UK Singles Chart.
