Background

"Fa All Y'all" was the follow-up to Da Brat's successful debut single "Funkdafied" which charted at No. 6 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached platinum status during the summer of 1994. The single was released in September of that year, and although it did not match the success of "Funkdafied", the song nevertheless became Da Brat's second top 40 hit, reaching No. 37 on the Billboard Hot 100, where it spent 12 weeks. The song featured backing vocals from Xscape member Kandi Burruss, as well as Jermaine Dupri, Raven-Symoné and Manuel Seal, Jr. and was written by Da Brat and Dupri and produced by Dupri. The song samples "Heartbreaker" by Zapp.[1]

Music video

The music video was directed by Ken Fox and premiered in late 1994.
