The album features "All the Things (Your Man Won't Do)", originally featured on the soundtrack to the 1996 Marlon and Shawn Wayans film Don't Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood, which reached number two on the US R&B chart and number 11 on the Billboard Hot 100; it sold 700,000 copies domestically and was certified gold by the RIAA.[5][6] The album also features "Don't Wanna Be a Player", which originally appeared on the soundtrack to the 1997 film Booty Call and reached number five on the US R&B chart and number 25 on the Hot 100. It, too, earned a gold certification for its sales of 500,000 copies.[7][8] Aside from these two songs, All That I Am features three singles: the lead single "The Love Scene", "Good Girls" and the title track. Although they received airplay on R&B radio stations, none registered on the Hot R&B Singles chart. Pop group Backstreet Boys covered the song "No One Else Comes Close" on their 1999 album Millennium.[9]
