"All for Love" is a rock song written by Bryan Adams, Robert John "Mutt" Lange and Michael Kamen for the soundtrack The Three Musketeers: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack, performed by Adams, Rod Stewart and Sting.[2] The song's musical-style and production were heavily inspired by rock and pop music from the 1980s, and its lyrics chronicle a relationship. The song was released as a CD single in the United States on November 16, 1993.
The song was released by A&M Records, the home label for Sting and Adams. Stewart was the only one of the singers not to be on A&M at the time of the song's recording, instead being signed to Warner Bros. Records.
The title was inspired by the Musketeers' motto: "All for one, and one for all".
A version of the song was performed as the finale in concert with Luciano Pavarotti and other singers and released on the album, Pavarotti & Friends 2, in 1995.
