Roiii Opens Up About The Emotional Weight Behind The Track “All For You.” South African hip-hop artist Roiii has once again turned his life experiences and those close to him into raw art with his latest song, “All For You,” featuring Gemma Fassie and Boity. The track is part of his and Boity’s collaborative project, The Extra Mile, and it delves deeply into the complex emotions surrounding toxic relationships.
In a reflective post, Roiii gave insight into the creative process and emotional weight behind “All For You.” Triggering both personal and shared memories, Roiii acknowledged that the song wasn’t born purely from his own romantic experiences, but rather from toxic relationships he witnessed firsthand.
He explained, “I wrote this song based on my experiences of toxic relationships, not necessarily ones that I was in but relationships close to me.” His words suggest that, while this song acts as a medium for self-reflection, it also mirrors the struggles faced by many.
What makes “All For You” especially impactful is Roiii’s revelation that the second verse, in particular, became a moment of introspection. “I realized while writing this song though I was confronting not only the character I was writing on but also myself,” he added, hinting that listeners will need to immerse themselves in the song to uncover the depth of his self-confrontation and vulnerability.
The track, enriched by the vocals of Gemma Fassie and the lyrical prowess of Boity, offers a poignant blend of emotions, highlighting Roiii’s ability to turn pain into powerful storytelling. Roiii closed his post with a dedication to anyone out there who can relate to the song’s foundation, expressing his hope that “All For You” could offer a semblance of closure.
The Extra Mile is more than just an album —it’s a journey through heartfelt stories and hard-hitting realities, with “All For You” serving as a raw, unfiltered chapter in that narrative.
