"All My Friends" is a song by British production duo Snakehips, featuring American recording artists Tinashe and Chance the Rapper. It was released as a single on 21 October 2015 by Sony Music UK and Columbia Records. It won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Contemporary Song in May 2016.

In an interview with the Official Charts Company, Snakehips member Ollie Lee explained the song: "It's not about one specific story, I suppose it's really just about years of bad nights out... living in London!"

When asked about how the collaboration came about, Lee continued, "I have no idea to be honest with you. We made the beat to the song last year and we really wanted Tinashe and Chance on the song. Honestly, they were our first choices for the track – they were two relatively new acts at the time and we both loved what they were doing. We just sent them the song and they both said they liked it. We couldn't believe that they'd even heard of us. I still can't believe it all worked out actually. The whole thing is sort of ridiculous..."

"All My Friends" debuted on the ARIA Singles Chart at number 27 on the chart date 21 December 2015. It eventually peaked at number 3.

In the United Kingdom, the song has peaked at number 5 on the Official Singles Chart. The song has also peaked at number 2 in New Zealand, number 7 in Scotland and number 15 in Ireland.

A music video for the track was released on 16 November 2015. It was directed by Mister Whitmore.

On 25 February 2016, Snakehips, Chance the Rapper and Tinashe performed the track on Jimmy Kimmel Live.
