The “No Brainer” collaborator is putting his spin on Nickelodeon’s beloved All That theme song. There are high expectations and Chance is pulling out all the stops for his new song.

On Monday (June 3, 2019), Chance shared a short preview of his version of the All That theme tune. The 26-year-old rapper enlisted the services of a full choir for the chorus before diving into a fast-paced rap verse. The video features chance and a gang of his friends dance to their gospel-esque, hip hop rendition of the All That theme song. In the clip, a choir of voices can be heard singing the song’s iconic refrain before Chance barges in with his characteristically staccato delivery, “Thirty minutes don’t touch that dial. Don’t interrupt right now / Tell mama fall back. Cause another ‘All That’ comin’ up right now.”

"Don’t touch that dial" could also refer to the Kenan & Kel theme song, a spin-off from All That starring Kenan Thompson and Kel Mitchell.

Comedian Vena E. teased a forthcoming All That soundtrack in a photo with Chance.


The revival of All That premieres June 15 at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT) on Nickelodeon USA. It will feature a mix of returning cast members — like Kel Mitchell, Lori Beth Denberg, and Josh Server — and new, young comedians. Thompson and Mitchell also serve as executive producers on the reboot. The original All That featured a theme song by TLC, which is also returning for the revived series!

Chance The Rapper’s hotly-anticipated debut “Owbum” is due out in July. Since announcing the project in February, the Chicago rapper has been peppering fans with song snippets, photos of himself working with famous friends in the studio, and more than a few Triller videos of him hitting “The Woah,” to the project’s first single “Groceries.” The musician has also took some time this year to record a Super Bowl commercial for Doritos with Backstreet Boys. He’s linked up with artists like 2 Chainz, Tee Grizzley, Supa Bwe, and Ed Sheeran for features, and dropped his new single, “GRoCERIES,” last month.

Chance is known to enjoy tinkering with television show tracks, as he also remixed the Arthur theme a couple of years ago.

Chance the Rapper will also be co-hosting Nickelodeon SlimeFest 2019, Festival, June 8-9, 2019 at Huntington Bank Pavilion
at Northerly Island in Chicago, Ill.

TLC released the All That theme song in 1994, recorded during the same sessions that produced the trio’s classic album, CrazySexyCool. It appeared on the All That soundtrack, which also featured songs by Aaliyah, Immature, Soul for Real, Faith Evans, Naughty By Nature, and more.

All That Is Back! Catch the brand-new season of All That, Saturdays at 8:30 p.m. (ET/PT) from Saturday, June 15, 2019, only on Nickelodeon!
