"All About Us" is a song by Russian recording duo t.A.T.u., taken as a single from the group's second English language studio album Dangerous and Moving (2005). The song was also featured on the group's second Russian studio album Lyudi Invalidy. The song was written by Josh Alexander, Billy Steinberg, Jessica Origliasso & Lisa Origliasso. The song was produced by Martin Kierszenbaum and Robert Orton. The song was chosen as the album's lead single in March 2005 by Universal Music Russia and Interscope.

The song was greeted with positive reviews from music critics, who many praised the ambition and was specified as a highlight on the album. Commercially, the song performed very well on the charts, charting in many European charts and managed to have success in North America and the Oceania. An accompanying music video was issued for the single, which featured the group running away from each other. The video was considered controversial from critics and fans, featuring disturbing graphics.

"All About Us" received generally positive reviews from most music critics. Roger Holland from Popmatters said "it’s “All The Things She Said - Part Dva (two)”. [...] It packs more amateur operatics, more rock and more intelligent pop into a little under three minutes than Queen could shoehorn into the entirety of “Bohemian Rhapsody”."The Pitt News compared it "in vein" to the group's previous singles "All The Things She Said" and "Not Gonna Get Us" saying "The song tries to silence the media hype and rumors concerning their sexuality, relationships, disputes and drug use that followed the girls after their emergence, letting the world know that they are still together and as strong as ever." Michael Freedburg from The Boston Phoenix said along with "Friend or Foe", "Perfect Enemy" and "Dangerous and Moving", it "shoots straight to the gut — and to the heart." Betty Clarke from The Guardian said that the song is a "is good, glossy pop, any empathy lurking in these tales of teenage persecution is lost in translation."
