"'All the Above'" is a song by American rapper Maino, released on February 17, 2009, as the second single from his debut album 'If Tomorrow Comes...' (2009). The song, which features vocals from American R&B singer T-Pain, was produced by Just Blaze and co-produced by Nard & B. The song is noted to have similar elements, such as the lead synthesizers, drum pattern, and violins but in a different key and different chords, as T.I.'s hit single "Live Your Life", also produced by Just Blaze.

It also peaked at numbers 10, 24 and 59, on the Hot Rap Songs, Digital Songs and Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs charts, respectively. A music video directed by Erik White was made to promote the single.
