Produced by pop hitmaker Dr. Luke, “All My Life” serves as the lead single from Lil Durk’s upcoming album Almost Healed, which after a slight delay is set to drop on May 26. It also marks the first joint effort from Durk and Cole.

The Windy City native also spoke about “All My Life” in a recent interview with Apple Music, and said the song came about because he was feeling “moody” and he knew J. Cole would be the perfect fit.

“Whatever mood I’m in, I just go to the studio and just make the music,” he said. “I just feel like a positive vibe went up with Dr. Luke, you know what I’m saying? That’s the first song he played and I just felt it and I’m like, ‘Man, I want J. Cole on this.’”

He continued: “And I made it happen. I’ve been talking to him, checking up on him, just seeing how you doing. You wait for the right moment for him to ask to be on the song. The song be big.

“I just wanted to be like, ‘I want J. Cole on the song.’ So when we do the song, the first person popped in my head, I’m like, ‘I got to get J. Cole on this.’”
