Reflecting on the artistic inspirations behind the track, alongside this specific creative process, AJ shares, ”For this project I made beats as if I were producing for an established artist, looking for inspiration but making sure I brought my own creativity to the table. During the time I made “All I Need” I was really enjoying music from Amine. My thought process was to produce something with a similar air to Amine’s song “Charmander.” Trying to capture a fun/light/energetic rhythm that has a bounce.

The beat I made was so infectious that I posted it on my social media platforms while rapping a freestyle, not anticipating anything to occur from it – I was purely posting because I loved the beat so much. As time passed and I forgot about the beat for “All I Need” I had several friends remind me how much they enjoyed the music and that I should finish the song! This isn’t my usual process for making music, but I knew if people were asking for it – it was up to Peoples to deliver.”
