"All or Nothing" is a song by German dance-pop group Milli Vanilli. It was released in January 1990 and was their final top 10 single, peaking at number four in the United States. This was their final single before the lip syncing scandal. In November 1990, the duo's manager, Frank Farian, publicly announced that he had fired Fab Morvan and Rob Pilatus. He also confirmed long standing rumors that Morvan and Pilatus did not actually sing on any Milli Vanilli releases. Session singers had provided the lead vocals while Morvan and Pilatus lip synced to the recorded tracks when performing live.

In December 1990, singer-songwriter David Clayton-Thomas sued Milli Vanilli for copyright infringement, alleging that "All or Nothing" used the melody from his 1968 song "Spinning Wheel", a hit for his group Blood, Sweat & Tears. The lawsuit was apparently settled out of court. In a 2015 interview, Clayton-Thomas recalled, "I called my publishing lawyer and said, 'Hey! We've got an infringement here.' And sure enough, it was an infringement, and they had to pay me for it."{{cite news |last1=Maull |first1=Samuel |title=Songwriter-Singer Sues Milli Vanilli for Alleged Copyright Infringement |url=https://apnews.com/5a18fb93bc583e2dd8eeee5c6c1a3228 |work=AP News |date=7 December 1990}}{{cite web |last1=Wiser |first1=Carl |title=David Clayton-Thomas of Blood, Sweat & Tears: Songwriter Interviews |url=https://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/david-clayton-thomas-of-blood-sweat-tears |website=Songfacts.com |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20190214203155/https://www.songfacts.com/blog/interviews/david-clayton-thomas-of-blood-sweat-tears |archivedate=14 February 2019 |date=1 May 2015}}
